On Friday, we went to Harlem.
Irony
I modified the color tone so that all the colors, yellow in the letters, green in the hoodie, red on the wall, purple in the bike, washed-out bluegreen, and etc all stand out, yet all combined and overriden by a common theme.
Forms and Colors
The first thing I noticed were the states of houses. A lot of them looked abandoned. The paints were peeling off and pipes were rusty. I tried to reduce things into forms and colors in this photo, reducing the house from the wholeness of home into metals and woods and paints.
Generosity
Smoke-beard
Shape
Blocks
Going Nowhere
This photo may be the most purposeful and intentional among all the others, because I not only waited the moment the shoes that were gently swaying and spinning pointed in the opposite directions, but also framed things so that every side of the photo is enclosed by buildings. I intentionally made it underexposed so that the buildings go almost completely black, simply like frames. I tried to express the lockout situation where there is no way to get out.
Following
This is another consciously framed photo that has the opposite purpose to the previous.
Textures
I was intrigued by the effects of direct, strong sunlight, but mostly by the stark contrast in the textures.
Disturbance
Audience
Directions
