    That self portrait, solid as ever, like loving all of it, very nicely done. The interior shots are good as well, the barrels that says trash on them catch my eye a lot, like reminds me of a time where I burnt wood in a barrel during winter to keep warm, and had used paper as kindling. Wild stuff. The natural lighting and the way the shadows rake across the walls and everything is so interesting, liking it a lot.

    Now I do think your last photo is out of place from the rest. The first 9 photos give a great atmosphere of “isolation” which is especially ironic with what’s going on right now. You’re third picture makes me feel like I’m in the Fallout game series, and I love the use of light and shadows for the whole composition. The picture of the country house has this thick fog on the ground, and it seems like you got the photo taken at the perfect moment. It’s another great addition to the entire isolation theme you have going on.

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...
