What I’m looking to accomplish this semester
This semester I’m looking to continue my photo project from the previous semester. With this I’m looking to push my creativity, expand on my idea, and create a unique photographic experience on climate change in our area. My critiques from last semester helped me to narrow down my best images, and from those I’m hoping to somehow stretch the idea of finding things that are unique to the aftermath of a storm. Although I know the direction I want to go in, I’m still at the drawing board of where to start to get these images I’m looking for. I’m trying to find those images that will make my photos stand out from other climate change and global warming work. I want this body of work to feel complete but also have a very impactful message that will stay with the people that see it. One place I’m looking to start is discovering and researching places that are highly effected by sea level rising, I’m hoping to also possibly photograph people that are also affected in areas with high flooding. Possibly looking at organizations that are doing work for communities that are also affected may be another area to look into. From here I’m hoping this is a good start, and as the semester progresses I hope to complete and push this project forward.
I see that others have posted about website funsies and I myself do have a Wix site but I definitely need to do a lot of updating and major layout adjustments. Seeing as my Wix site now is composed of different styles of photography that I take, at this point I'm not sure if I should start from scratch and show all the work I'm currently doing now, or if the purpose is to showcase my best stuff no matter the style. Nonetheless I will update it and change some layout mechanics and if the better choice is to make a new one I will do it at that time!
Look forward to another great semester with everyone!

Sound Great Nadja. Look at the Elizabeth river project. On facebook there is a group and I always get notices of events. Lafayette River something or other too. You could just walk around in affected neighborhoods and talk to people and make environmetal portraits. They are building oyster reefs at the Hermitage to clean the water.
ReplyDeleteFor Senior Show I checked out the small exhibit called Waterways, at the MOCA satellite site (ground floor of a financial building a couple blocks from MOCA proper). The whole theme is how we coexist with the water, for good or ill, plus there are a few photographers, some doing work very related to your project. I believe the show there ends Feb 2.
