http://www.lightstalkers.org/galleries/contact_sheet/27853 By using an inside-out approach to record the lives of thirteen working girls from Kings Cross, Cruising provides a very immediate and visceral experience of their everyday realities, shocking truths and relentless dreaming. The photo journalistic approach reveals a confronting physicality that comes with intimacy at a price, while the Kings Cross’ streetscapes are taken through dirty car windows and isolates the “objectified” in what seems a dangerously surreal world. What is truly revealing about this project is the endearing commentary from the participants, their insights allow the viewer to connect with a familiar truth - a sad yet cathartic realisation that their dreams that keep them sane and, like all of us, it’s their familiar contradictions that define them. http://www.lightstalkers.org en-us http://images.lightstalkers.org/avatars/38332/cruising_small.jpg http://www.lightstalkers.org/Ian Flanders <img src='http://images.lightstalkers.org/images/1134903/cruising_reportage002_small.jpg' /><br /><br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1134903'>view full-size image</a> http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1134903 Mon, 08 Nov 2010 07:32:37 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1134903 <img src='http://images.lightstalkers.org/images/1134903/cruising_reportage002_small.jpg' /><br /><br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1134903'>view full-size image</a> Ian Flanders <img src='http://images.lightstalkers.org/images/1134912/cruising_reportage013_small.jpg' /><br /><br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1134912'>view full-size image</a> http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1134912 Mon, 08 Nov 2010 07:34:33 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1134912 <img src='http://images.lightstalkers.org/images/1134912/cruising_reportage013_small.jpg' /><br /><br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1134912'>view full-size image</a> Ian Flanders <img src='http://images.lightstalkers.org/images/1134900/cruising_small.jpg' /><br /><br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1134900'>view full-size image</a> http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1134900 Mon, 08 Nov 2010 07:34:33 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1134900 <img src='http://images.lightstalkers.org/images/1134900/cruising_small.jpg' /><br /><br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1134900'>view full-size image</a> Ian Flanders <img src='http://images.lightstalkers.org/images/1134906/cruising_reportage007_small.jpg' /><br /><br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1134906'>view full-size image</a> http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1134906 Mon, 08 Nov 2010 07:34:33 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1134906 <img src='http://images.lightstalkers.org/images/1134906/cruising_reportage007_small.jpg' /><br /><br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1134906'>view full-size image</a> Ian Flanders <img src='http://images.lightstalkers.org/images/1134909/cruising_reportage009_small.jpg' /><br /><br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1134909'>view full-size image</a> http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1134909 Mon, 08 Nov 2010 07:34:33 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1134909 <img src='http://images.lightstalkers.org/images/1134909/cruising_reportage009_small.jpg' /><br /><br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1134909'>view full-size image</a> Ian Flanders <img src='http://images.lightstalkers.org/images/1134915/cruising_reportage016_small.jpg' /><br /><br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1134915'>view full-size image</a> http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1134915 Mon, 08 Nov 2010 07:44:58 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1134915 <img src='http://images.lightstalkers.org/images/1134915/cruising_reportage016_small.jpg' /><br /><br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/1134915'>view full-size image</a> Ian Flanders
