New Series

I have abandoned the prior idea for my series, that I have been working on in my color workshop class. I had started in the beginning of the semester to work with architecture, that you can see here. For some reason I had changed my mind and thought to go back to working with people. The idea that I had come up with for that series can be seen here. I realized after 4 weeks of working on that series that I was trying to push it too much, I had one good photograph and that was it. Everything else was too forced and was not producing the imagery that I wanted. I think that it was the way that I was going about it and also the fact that I was not that enthused about the subject matter. So last week I decided to go back to architecture, and I am very please with the results. In the photographs that I have printed so far have been taking roof tops and cutting them from the rest of the building. All of the photographs seem to have an industrial feel so far. Here are three of the photographs that I was able to print on Friday. These photographs were all printed on  11x14 paper, that is why they are fuzzy when you click on them. My scanner is not big enough to fit them on the screen so I had to let them float a little bit above the scanner.

In Chinatown, next to my favorite dumpling place.

From the same building as above.

A building next to a playground in SoHo.

A lot of people in my class think it looks like a jail. 

This next photograph was taken over winter break and I had never added it to one of my prior blog posts. I think it works well with the series. Size: 8x10
