DTW Airport, Michigan
Reilly Brennan opted not to hit a triple here. This is a Steve Ditmann certified home run. One of the best Dumper pics from my archives. I believe Reilly captured this right after his honeymoon. If I understand the story, he was looking for his car in long term parking. He kept checking each level for familiarity, and then suddenly…things got very monster.
Reilly has a photographic eye. So I suppose that’s an advantage over most of our eager street team. But the composition is just so sick. The essence of mystery, terror, foul play, the routes the killers took, are all here. It’s just twisted smooshed era design with unreal color and lack of shape. Why is it the only car there?! Seriously. The hub caps are missing from sick dumper peel outs. The color is that of a mid 70’s morgue break room. And that light coming in to the parking structure….dude, don’t even.
Long term parking really says it all. I just can’t help but think of Robert Stack’s voice, and the “Unsolved Mysteries” synth groove behind it. Shitty reenactments made to chill you to the bone. And they always do.
