Created for Richardson Living magazine as cover art to celebrate the city's suburban mid-century modern architecture, this image is a composite of nearly 40 different exposures. The shot was set up before sundown and continued for nearly two hours. Each element was lit with flashlights and a hand held camera strobe. The actors had to hold their pose through two separate ten second exposures. The glow from Sodium vapor streetlights made the sky a murky orange, so I substituted a sunset sky I had shot ten years earlier in California. Likewise, the trees and lawn were not in great shape, so I filled in using tree shots and lawns from my personal image library. Ordinarily I don't like to retouch images so heavily, but because of the deliberate artificial mood of the photo, retouching seemed appropriate.

I haven't seen one of these in decades! Only anachronism: the lady's skirt is too short!

Are these cars street legal in the states. If so I love to ride in one! Otherwise thanks for the trip down memory lane.

Love this! Reminds me very much of the work by Eric Curry. He creates scenes using Painting with Light. Well executed shot. Well done
