Like Gregory Crewdson's work, Jeff Wall's photographs can also be open to interpretation. Before I knew what the composition was about, I was not really as interested in Wall's work as I was with the other artists. It was not until after I read about the context of his images that I was able to gain a real appreciation for his ideas. This image is actually my favorite. I especially enjoy it because Wall successfully captured a fleeting moment in nature and simultaneously showed how the people within the setting were influenced by that act of nature. It's also interesting because I don't even realize that the people are kind of in the middle of nowhere. The fact that the wind has affected them in such a dramatic way gives them a sense of belonging and connection to their designated environment.
