    All of your images has such character to them. Somehow the way you photograph some of the simple subjects seems to personify them making them the main character in the image. The second images because of the way you framed the wagon gives it a mysterious and suspicious look. It looks like the wagon had gotten in trouble and is now in timeout, but they aren't sorry. The image of the pink house is also an interesting character, this is actually my favorite image of these, they way it fills the frame just right and the color correction makes it stand out. I get two different stories from the image, the first one is a grouchy old lady who lives in a doll-like house and the second is a elementary teacher that dresses like Ms. Frizzle with a very cluttered and messy house. Either way they way the house is photographed informs us of the interest of this story, regardless of the other houses or its surroundings this pink house is the one we should pay attention to. The last image I want to talk about is the last image of the carts. This picture is my second favorite. Just like the others the carts have a character I am interested in discovering, but the cropping of the "feet" of the carts cuts out information that would inform me of that information. A step back or a shifting of the frame would allow the rest of the carts into the frame so we can read the characters properly. I am quite excited to see what other characters you will show us next time.

    All of your images are super interesting to look at! every time I look at them again I always see something different. I really like the third photo, I feel like the colors are just super pleasant to look at.

    I adore each of these, the images have a lot going on but they aren't too busy. The colors in each image fit against each other nicely, especially like the earthy browns against your vibrant colors.

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...
