6:45 AM in the Madera Ranchos; a small community between Fresno and Madera. Two days of planning went into the photo. I had a distinct image for what I wanted. I came up with the idea in fairly straight forward manner. I closed my eyes and imagined what came to mind when I thought - "Investigation". I imagined a person standing in the dark beneath a streetlight wearing a trench coat and taking notes of their surroundings. Then I wanted a scene for the detective character to looking at. I decided to take fake blood and create a murder scene of sorts on the streetlight. The photo was taken at dawn. The violet-blue of the early morning sky contrasted well with the vibrancy of the blood. A mounted flash with a blue jell to create the light on one side. Initially I was just experimenting with the colored flashes. I liking how they added a bit of intrigue to the photo, resembling the light of the moon or maybe the flashing of police lights.
