Our first assignment for Contemporary Photography was a simple scavenger hunt type assignment. Basically, since the course is introish in nature and many people don't know their cameras very well, the assignment gave us words and we went out and took pictures of how they inspired us.
I'm only going to present the images I printed for crit or ones that I particularly like.
Consciousness
A portrait of my good friend Chris.
Invisible
This is Lawrence, a homeless man in Ann Arbor. We had a conversation over coffee on a bitterly cold Friday in Ann Arbor. Needless to say, he has a hard life.
Landscape Interrupted
The former location of the old Pinball Pete's on South U. in Ann Arbor. It was destroyed by a fire in fall 2009.
Ritual
Biggby coffee on Liberty St. in Ann Arbor.
Message to the World
An outreach guy for a local church in Ann Arbor on Michigan's Central Campus Diag. I don't think he was amused with me.
Longing
Two patrons of Potbelly's on State and Liberty in the 2nd story windows.
I very much enjoyed having a good reason for just walking around A2 taking pictures for once, it's nice to get credit for doing what I do for fun anyway!
For this assignment I really tried to stay in the spirt of a scavenger hunt and not build scenes to shoot, but find them on my own. It was a challenge and I think for our next assignment I'll defiantly be doing more posed or staged images but I really enjoyed working that way for this assignment.
Thanks for reading.
