For my project, I have decided that I would like to take pictures of things that I find interesting. Usually it is stuff that is broken, decaying or falling apart. I know I did something similar every quarter, but it's something I really enjoy taking pictures of. However, I do not want to limit myself to just death and decay. I am going to be focusing mainly on making something from nothing like chapter 4 in the Cotton book. I always love taking pictures like that anyway and I'd love to do an entire project in that style. I think that overall my images will be tied together because of the polaroid format I chose. I also have a feeling my images will tie together nicely because I am always intrigued by things that are broken or ugly in some way or another.
I am really inspired by artists like Wim Wenders, William Eggleston, and Uta Barth.
Uta Barth
William Eggleston
Wim Wenders
Their work is all very beautiful and vibrant and all have elements of rot and decay in them. Not all their work, but they are there in the work that I am focusing on.
