How the hell do you not get totally freaked going into these places? Do you go by yourself? Great shots totally creepy.

Graveyard

Granted if Motts was taking pictures of a family on vacation or a wedding it would be more critical to do things like that. The way I see it Motts is less a photographer and more an artist who just uses photography as his media. Does that make sense to anyone? To film a decaying ship in perfect light to illuminate details it would look like a picture of a decaying ship, and not a piece of art that's meant to be more.

yea in other countries guys with chains and hand tools would risk life and limb to salvage every scrap from this ship. i think that it is a prime example of our waste.

True Kevin, it means a straight on approach.. when refering to a subject being filmed. This comes from the design of a proscenium stage. However, it is a malapropism to use it when talking about photography.

Since we all know what trouble you have with big words I did the leg work for you:
