The Great Experiment, part 3

Here’s the latest installment of this wonderful little experiment. The black & white image was taken with the 8×10, but I cheated a bit with the color and used my DSLR because I didn’t want to wait for the color film to be processed. I included the black border to simulate the 4×5 full frame, which is what I’d like to stick with.

I’m playing around with different focal lengths/perspective/angles and offsetting objects. The repetition of the concrete blob in the bottom image is successful to me, but I’m not so sure about the house in the middle. I think I need to push the offsetting a bit more.

I think I’d like to actually enter the spaces to capture the color images next time, rather than photographing from the same spot…

Ian Van Coller, one of my esteemed undergraduate professors, was interviewed for Photolucida’s blog. A good read, worth taking a look at.

Surveys

I’ve been hard at work on a project I’m calling Surveys. It’s along the same lines as the Phoenix Transect project, where I’m setting out to create a visual document of my surroundings with color 4×5 negatives. Since I’ll be moving to Arizona in July of this year, the idea of documenting my environment has become important to me. My hope is come back to Bozeman from time to time and rephotograph these places to see how they change over time. Here are a few of the images.
