Qualquer semelhança com a realidade...
After a Flash Flood is one of Sternfeld's most effective images, showing a cross-section of a society perpetually sensing itself on the precipice of disaster. A razor-thin line separates order from chaos as a suburban housing complex seems to hover precariously over the maw of a recent mudslide that has swallowed a barely visible automobile. Although the photograph was not manipulated, the scene is suffused with a cinematic sense of unreality—a mood reflected in the very name of the California desert town depicted: Rancho Mirage
