Both series expand on the artist's obsessive exploration of the psychogeography of small-town, post-industrial New England and underscore the precision and depth of Crewdson's unique mode of photographic storytelling. In each image, light, color, and carefully crafted scenography evoke the feeling that, as art historian Alexander Nemerov has astutely described, \"all that ever happened in these places seems crystallized in his tableaux, as if the quiet melancholy of Crewdson's scenes gathered the unruly sorrows and other little-guessed feelings of people long-gone who once stood on those spots.\" In addition to the full set of images from each series, \u003ci\u003eAlone Street\u003c\/i\u003e, presents a selection of behind-the-scenes images and storyboards, revealing the extensive preparation and planning that went into the making of each work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eCrewdson, Gregory:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eGregory Crewdson\u003c\/b\u003e (born in Brooklyn, 1962) is a graduate of the Yale School of Art, New Haven, Connecticut, where he is now director of graduate studies in photography.
