Sad Vader by Alex Brown is a pretty killer photo. This shot was snapped at a McDonald’s in upstate NY of a kid wearing a Darth Vader mask. The body language is what pulls this photo all together, and it is now available in two sizes at 20×200.

Edition of 20 each $200 at 20×200In my photography, I am interested in the spontaneous documentation of scenes from daily life. I am drawn to moments of beauty and humor in the mundane that often go unnoticed.
This photograph was taken in a McDonald’s restaurant in Upstate New York. The kid was sitting in the booth on his own wearing a Darth Vader helmet that made the same breathing sound as the character in Star Wars. For some reason, he reminded me of myself as a child. I always wanted a helmet like that when Star Wars first came out but my parents wouldn’t buy me one.
This photograph explores various themes that are central to my work and that are heavily influenced by the American TV, movies and pop culture I experienced growing up in the 80s.
