Cracker Assignment: Alfred Hitchcock

This month's cracker assignment revolved around the visual style of the great Alfred Hitchcock. I remember numerous nights trying to stay awake to watch Alfred Hitchcock Presents. My favourite bit was the start and finish when he would present the upcoming story and then wrap it up again. He would always have the most visually arresting manner to present these short segments. 

This photo is inspired by  "The Birds" (obvious - I know).

 

Flight no.1

I went to the woods...

“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practise resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms.”

― Henry David Thoreau, Walden: Or, Life in the Woods
