I was just meditating five minutes ago: if I want to truly enjoy photography again, I need to be less documentary and more instinctive. I’m not sure whether this photo leans more towards documentary or experimental, but I felt the need to share my thoughts with someone who can understand me. So, I hold onto this beautiful photo as my justification.

Blair Witch was hsot on a hand-held 8mm cine camera - so not really documentary! Nice atmosphere though.

The title increases the vibes spinning from the shadows.

That and the fact that it was clearly scripted...

The title tries to explain the feeling I had. The eerie atmosphere of the place and the entire scene brought that movie in front of me.

I do understand, Gianluca; shooting this image was more of an instinctive thing, mainly based on the feeling I had at the time.

The atmosphere was the main reason, in this case.

I never saw that film but certainly know about it. Stepping out of the normal everyday thinking and seeing can certainly be a part of the photography learning process.
I saw this scene from the highway and just knew I had to try and photograph it. I shot the better of a 36 exposure roll trying to find "the" shot I was looking for. This is one of the final four that I narrowed it down to. Two vertical and two horizontal. I liked the ones shot mostly or full wide open. I like the out of focus feel adding to the disorientation. I have a chair series that this is part of.
