Jaye’s Truck

We were borrowing our good friend’s truck for a few days one winter, and it happened to be sitting in the driveway in just the right orientation for the light of the full winter moon to hit it. It felt serendipitous, even though the only thing I could see with the naked eye in the truck bed was a large and indistinct tangle of rope. My spidey sense told me that there might be a composition there, if it was exposed long enough to the delicate illumination of that winter moon. The resulting film revealed the detail of the ropes and the distinctions between them. The small sulfurous wedge of light at the top of the frame is from a streetlight. Moonlight, being reflected daylight, is blue.
