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...
Someone else found the grain elevator and train bridge in Pemberville! I was thinking of making photographs of both of those locations last week and decided against it because I was in a hurry. I enjoy the one of the grain elevator a lot! The composition is interesting to me. You got in there to capture some of the features that are a product of time but give it enough space to allow us to visualize the rest of the structure. I never would have thought to photograph it that way.
ReplyDeleteThere’s a couple favorites of mine from your collection. Firstly, it’s the one of the art drawing. It seems they’re deeply engaged into their project. It’s times like these where you capture people in their most focused times. The other one is of the bridge with the “I love you” on it. I think it’s a fun picture that many of us have trouble finding. It’s a cool “Easter egg” to find out.
