My second big photography project, Vistagraphs, is an experiment in making photos that reflect the way that humans perceive the world. This is an explanation of what I mean by that.
Month: November 2010
Incubator: The Birds
This is an “Incubator” post. Like the others, I know that there’s an idea for a big project in here, but I don’t know what it is yet.
Birds are one of the most photographed subjects, so it’s hard to do anything that hasn’t been done many times before. I’d like to show a slightly quirky and unusual side of birds, but I don’t know what that is yet.
Here are a few photos that contain elements I’d like to expand on:
Incubator: Still
This is an “Incubator” post. Like the others, I know that there’s an idea for a big project in here, but I don’t know what it is yet. Each photo would use a fast shutter speed or flash to freeze motion, capturing a view of a subject that people don’t get to see with the naked eye.
This connecting thread will link together a disparate set of subjects that wouldn’t otherwise find themselves together in a book. It might work beautifully, or it could be an incoherent mess. I need to shoot more pictures to find out.
Incubator: Somewheres
This is an “Incubator” post. Like the others, I know that there’s an idea for a big project in here, but I don’t know what it is yet.
While walking for a month across northern Spain, I passed thousands of doors. All of them lead somewhere. I started a collection of doors, whimsically limiting myself ones bearing the number 8 (as soon as I had decided upon this limitation, every other street seemed to have a demolished house between 6 and 10).
Incubator: Portraits on Location
This is an “Incubator” post. Like the others, I know that there’s an idea for a big project in here, but I don’t know what it is yet.
In order to be included in this project, the portraits must have been taken out and about, as part of the subjects life.
