Artist statement for Still lives: I took pictures of to pairs of timberland boots because it shows great contrast. I also thought it was interesting how two things that look the exact same have completely different color and texture. It also looks like there is a rivalry between the two types of boots given they look the same. I imagine the rivalry would be who could sell more pairs of boots the brown pair of the tan pair. I wanted to take a picture of the boots because it is also a rivalry between my brother and I on who has better boots. He has the tan boots and I have the black boots. " mine are better'.
I photographed the bridge to Canada while i was in Detroit because with the color of the sun everything looked very orange. I also took the picture because it looked interesting. The bridge and semi truck silhouetted in black because of the sun. I like how the blueprint shows all the triangles in the bridge,
I photographed the old train stations because it is one of the building i know most about and remember from Detroit. I couldn't get close to the building so i had to take pictures through and of the fence. The last picture I took was the one above with the razor wire. This is my favorite photo for multiple reasons. It shows how beautiful and old buildings can be forgotten and just closed up and gated from the public. I also like the swooping curve of the razor wire that throughs off the straight lines of the buildings. Finally I made the picture more vibrant by making the windows more blue and the yellow of the brick come out.
This is the bathroom on the golf course where I live. I took a picture of it because of its simplicity. since all my other photos are of very complex buildings. this structure reminds me of what buildings where. Just simple rectangle structures. I also took a picture of this because I thought the blue print would me interesting with all the brick lines.
I photographed this building because about five stories up their is a huge hole right in the side of the building. I liked how in the middle of a city can be a building so broken with a hole in the side of it revealing its inner pillars.
