Ghost Town Ghosts
Rhyolite, Nevada February 2007


The Belgian artist Albert Szukalski created this sculpture based on the Last Supper. I felt this view made it seem as if the ghosts of the ghost town were here for a visit.

You turned this sculpture of The Last Supper, which seems so out of place in Rhyolite, into a consortium of ghostly figures guarding the entrance to their once prosperous mining town. Your vantage point made this sculpture more place appropriate.

Great solution for shooting these guys. I had a hard time trying to shoot in a way that didn't look trite adn obvious. Setting them behind bushes seems as if they are there in secret.

I saw you making this image -- it is truly haunted. Your use of abstraction by screening the statues with the bush has turned the Last Supper into a festival of ghouls, which seems to me to be a more appropriate subject for this location.
