Final Work

So this is the last week of school before summer break, (even though it's only a 3 week break) so that means final projects. I did a few projects that I thought turned out okay so I figured I'd share them with everyone.

This concept of this first series is kind-of aparant in the images. Basically, my friend Kitty gave me this really cool old frame so I took it to some parts of Denver that I've always thought looked pretty cool and unique. What I wanted to do was bring attention to certain parts of the city that most people would usually just walk by. Personally, I find the most decayed parts of cities to be the most beautiful. These were all shot with a Mamiya 645 with a 35 mm lense and color Velvia 120 film.

This next shot was a diptych that I was messing around with. For these shots I wanted to take a typical every-day activity, (In this case brushing your teeth), and really try to exaggerate it with the subjects facial expressions and the amount of tooth paste he was using. These were just shot with my Canon Digital SLR and post-production in Photoshop.

Pool Party

So I had the privilege to go skate at this recently discovered gem of a pool. The view at this spot was amazing too. Pretty much paradise I'd say.

Glen aching and groaning while he heaves his over 30 year-old body over the fence to get in.

The clean up crew. It only took us about 10 minutes to get the rest of the water out of the pool with these buckets.

This was the view we had while we were skating this beauty of a pool. Pure freedom at its finest.
