urban landscapes.

on this assignment i didn't look at the blackboard site and just remembered that we needed a  concept.  i tried to think of what makes a city a city.  all i could think of were things that made the country the country and that was a porch.  so the best thing i could think of was a corner.  sounds like i settled i know but i still thought this idea had some weight.  i went out to belvidere and broad, a corner i find interesting for many reasons.  i was a little disappointed because this corner doesn't seem to be the same as it was last year.  i shot once during the day and once at night.  what i noticed when it was all said and done were the interactions or lack of interaction people had while at an intersection.  it was fun to watch and unfortunately i don't think my images do justice to what i saw but we'll get there.

50 shots of the crib.

On this assignment i looked for things that i thought would be interesting in my house.  since there isn't much i kinda started taking shots of the inner workings such as plumbing and ventilation.  i wanted to do some long time exposers but i hadn't bought my camera yet so i did my best with a kodak point and shoot.  it actually surprised me with that feature though the movement still looked odd to me particularly with in the fan images.   most of the other inner working images were shot in low light and that let there be a high contrast that i find appealing.  the rest of the 50 images really were whatever i found interesting/humorous.
