Urban Photography

For this project we focused on taking pictures in an urban setting. We tried to focus on the buildings and the setting more than the people. We each chose one famous urban photographer whose work we liked and took pictures in a similar style as them. The photographer I was inspired by was Eugene Atget. I noticed that many of his photos focused on alleys so I took multiple pictures of alleys, but I only printed one of them. I also tried to take pictures that focused on the lines of the architecture, more than the people, because Atget often took pictures early in the morning, so that there would be no people in them. Unfortunately, the photographs for this project did not scan very well, and have red at the bottom of them. I think some of my photographs, such as the second one down and the last one, were much more successful than others, but overall I am happy with the project.

Adjective Project- Weathered

The adjective I chose was weathered. The reason I chose that word was because I think things that have gone through time and are worn or antiquated are really interesting, because it makes an object have more personality. 

This image addresses the adjective because the wood the chair is made of is worn and the paint is chipped from being outside and exposed to the elements.

This image relates to the adjective because the wood is weathered and also has lichen growing on it, which makes it more interesting and shows it has been around for a long time.

In this image the wood is weathered and the picture itself looks antiquated and mysterious. 

This image addresses the adjective weathered because is old and rusted but also interesting and beautiful.

This image relates to the adjective weathered because the bricks are worn and they have texture. There are also plants growing in the bricks and bricks that are broken or missing.

This image looks weathered because the archway is made of old bricks that have been exposed to the elements. It is also not a modern looking structure, it's more antiquated and intriguing.
