After class today I was inspired and really wanted to go shoot some photos that I may or may not use. I can't stray too far from Ellensburg, so I went to some of my usual haunts; but tried to shoot them in new ways. I had a lot of fun with this adventure and I think it helped me get more amped for this project. A lot of the images have lovely textures that I tried to focus on a bit too. Lately, I haven't been too inspired, I am dealing with a lot of personal things right now and I kind of want those to be shown in my work. We talked about how our life is shown in our work, but I want mine to be more obvious. I don't want you to be able to tell exactly what it is I am dealing with, but just enough to almost feel the same way when you look at the images. I feel like I am not making sense...
I want the viewer to feel what I feel and see what I see when they experience this body of work. I don't like to open up about the issues I am dealing with, but I think I can portray it without fully cutting myself open for all of the world to see. Again, I don't know if I am making sense... I am still trying to figure everything out as of right now, but you will be happy to know that I am one step closer to figuring that out.
Oh, when I shot my images today, I had my ISO up really high and so my images are very grainy. I don't mind the grain, but I may go shoot them again with a lower ISO for less noise.
