    I really enjoy the red and yellow photo of the woman by the port-a-potties. The colors work really well with each other especially because it is only primary colors. I also find the triangles and strong diagonals in the photo to be very nice. I also really like the movement in the photo of kp. The color is slightly off and could be a bit warmer and a bit more saturated (I am sure this is issues due to not having access to everything you need). The dancing photo is really fun, and I like the shapes in the picture. Again I think maybe if the photo was a bit warmer would fix the color, but I am sure you already know that Meadow haha! Overall I really enjoy your photos

    I am drawn to your fourth image, the one of the house. I love the colors in the image and it gets even more interesting the more I look at it. I also love the crowded feel and sense of motion in the second to last image, it gives it a live feel which I enjoy. I also really like your first image of the shadow displayed on the door, it is a unique take on a portrait I find very refreshing. Overall I enjoy your photos and the unique ways you capture people.

    I enjoy the first one a lot! Shadows are sort of a one time occurrence. Sure we see them every day, but like sunsets, no two will ever be the same. If the individual captured in that image stood in the same exact place at the same exact time, and you photographed them, the shadow would change as the sun's path moves each day. I've been keeping an eye on how the light changes in my little world and have made a point of documenting it. It would be fun if you could do a daily photo like that to see if you notice changes as time goes on. Other than that, great photos! These all seem to be in the moment captures which makes them fun and relatable.

Final // reflection

    I'm sure everyone is well aware how stressful and anxiety ridden this semester has been. For myself personally, I am stuck between a rock and a hard place. I work at a nursing home in town, so when this all broke out I had to evaluate what was more important- exposing myself as a high risk individual, or taking a leave from my job and being broke, jobless, and unable to pay rent. The latter wasn't a viable option. There were so many points in this semester where I wanted to stop and give up, throw away all my classes and just lock myself in my house forever. Especially when my facility finally became exposed to COVID-19. It was hard to cope with all of this, I had only my partner to rely on.      At some point me and my partner started to go for walks to clear our heads. There's something centering about acknowledging the smaller parts of the world around you. As I started to take photos, I was able to zoom in and recognize the smaller worlds that ...

Judah's Final: Mercurial

Mercurial There’s so many different stories to be told when you point the lens of a camera towards another human. The crease of eyebrows, shifting eyes and posture, and tilt of the head tells a long tale, true or not, for photographer and viewer. Transforming people into characters, into icons, is something that always drew me to photography. And in January 2020, I thought I figured out my next brilliant scheme: I made a tinder specifically to find and make photos of these strangers. A constant stream of people, with passing stories, being immortalized to my liking. The semester was looking to be an exciting one. Haha, yeah, fuck covid though.  Obviously we’re here. In quarantine. Alone or with the few roommates, family members, or pets we find ourselves sharing space with. Not exactly ideal for any kind of working, but especially not for the portrait photographer. There’s really only one reliable model you have if you’re alone. And that, unfortu...

My practice drastically changed once going into quarantine. I found it very difficult to have any motivation once being home all the time. This is especially because I was mainly photographing people. I was no longer able to photograph people in the same way, and ended up mainly photographing my brother in different metroparks in the Toledo area. This proved to be a challenge  as I could no longer shoot on film either, and my dslr stopped working a week into quarantine. This led to most of my photos being phone pics. With these limitations I tried to play off of weird projects I already had been doing. My photos for mom series are literal phone pictures I have always taken for my mom of my brother and I doing weird things in parks. This also drew off of my idea to make eye-spy type pictures of my brother and I hiding in the trees. The last of my film photos are also stuck as edited TIFFs. I was unable to download photoshop as my laptop has no storage, and the files were too big for...
