Project 3 Video, Light Capturing Trek (11-19-06)

I shot north in the Shorewood neighborhoods and lakefront. There were a lot of piers and wooded areas that I wanted to explore. There were a lot of unexplored territories in the Nature Preserve that I was interested in navigating.

Setting #1:
I went out looking for settings that I could focus on with different exposures and play with colors and the relaitonship of the forground to the background. These setting felt right to me because I was looking forward to exploring the eerie and ominous sounds with my video. I found a lot of desolate seeming pictures and a lot of stills where it feels like something is missing or something should be happenning.

Setting #2:
I also wanted to found some places that I would only want to photograph, not be in. I wanted to find pictures of enclosed areas and places that would make me feel constricted.

Production Strategy #1:
I went out looking for images that I thought would look better in black and white.

Production Startegy #2:
I wanted pictures of things that felt contricting, suffocating and cold

...I realized after looking over my stills that I was beginning to look at scenarios differently and find things about them that inspire me to keep evolving as an artist...
