Robert and Shana ParkHarrison: The Crossing

The ParkHarrison team has many photos that are centered around death, the afterlife, dying, etc. This photo I pick particularly because the use of tires for "the crossing" is unique and well played. Also, I am not quite fond of the bold visuals of death and dying, and therefore, this picture was the one that stood out to me for a blogpost.

Here it looks like the photographers are trying to tell the audience that in crossing over to the other side one must jump through many obstacles. It is as if the man is slowly fading into the horizon created by these tires. I'm not quite sure if he is happy or sadisticly skipping off into his afterlife.

It still puzzles me how the photographers managed to get this perfect horizon of tires set up on a blank sky background. I wonder if there was a special angle or camera used to get this depth perception. Regardless, the picture provides the viewer an original remake of the traditional "sunset."
