Gregory Crewdson: Brief Encounters

I'm fascinated by Gregory Crewdson's work.  His photos have a production cost rivaling an independent film, and his prints sell for up to $125k.  His eight-year photo epic "Beneath the Roses" features 50 photos taken in Massachusetts, documenting the decay of the northern small town as capitalism fails.  And yet he insists his photos have no plot, storyline, character, or development; each exists just in one moment, in his head and on film.
