For my Midterm Project


So i have been brainstorming ideas and keep coming back to this part of photography that recalls a moment a time. Something that Photography fundamentally captures. I have also been think about in there shoes kind of thing dealing with the question, " if i were so and so at my age, id be..." I dont know about everyone, but it is a question or phrase that seems to be coming up a lot especially since school is taking longer and marriage and kids is a phenomenon that is existing less or happening later on in life for many people. So i have begun collecting photos of grandparents and parents and plan to take the photos and information to create almost a time capsule of an image something that shows, something that represents if i were my grandparents at my age, something that examine the connection the dissconnection and the gap of generations.

The decisive moment



THis has a little more to do with my photo seminar class, but i thought id look at photos with the decisive moment as i see... the moment when the time place and photographer all came toghter, this can be on purpose or by chance, with the socialist military man making the jump to western berlin before it was too late.

Some other photographers i was told about

And the search continues to narrow down my search for a really great idea. In class i was shown these photographers. Jeffrey Crewdson. I really like the look and ambiguity of his images a lot. as though im not quite sure if it is a reality or a dream set up.
As was pointed out to me, photography is the caputuring of memories, of moments some see as reality or is it just a dream so its necessary to push and make the viewer wonder is this real or is there something here that just doesnt feel right, that makes me wonder more. That is my goal, my new mission i guess you could say. I wanna make the viewer wonder.

Some of my night photography..

So Here are some of my raw photos, they havent been edited yet, i have some that have been but they are on another drive that i will have to dig through. But i would like to combine these night images, many of which signify the passage of time, with something reminisant of a dream.






My dream and night photography search

So i have really been into night photography, and then also with painting the concept of dreams and memories... I would take a photo that i had of scene i photographed but where i was impacted by the entire scene and then use my memory to recreate the rest of the scene the way i felt it, and the way i remember it. It is an interesting mix that i am eager to continue experimenting with. So the search for dream and night photography to look at different techniques and ideas. here are a couple of things i came across. I came up with Images from Annie Liebovitz who is working with composite images and then another man Mike Hollingshead, he has alot of night work, but unfortunatly much of the night photography i came across was much of the same kind of stuff but his has colors in his images that i love. I will also post some of my recent night photographs, i would like to take the night photography idea and combine it with the composite/dream images.
