Motion_Depth_ Perceptions on New York- Crit 2

1. Nocturnal Life- Situated next to a frequented bus stop in New York, I believe in Manhattan; the idea was to
capture street life being pedestrian friendly at all hours; F16 with 2 seconds was used. The Camera was placed on a
Bus sill and left on self timer, a Cannon AE-Program was the model used.

Attempts on Postmodernism as theory/practice*

2. Nuage Gris*- A Mute Hyper Modern tribute to Stephane Mallamre's poem "The Faun"; the place is a Episcopalian church in
Houston's Downtown area. A ceremony was taking place during a certain holiday that will go unnamed. However, a normal day was skewed into a noted reality, as one of Mallarme's Poem, Mallarme focused on Greek themes of nymphs flying in between his desires and thoughts, a sort of duality of metaphysical and physical actions being simultaneously from thought to execution; in a way this photo was an execution towards a Mallarmerian attempt from poem to photo. f11 1/60 shutter speed.

3. Tribute to Gursky*- Gursky famously shot the famous Guggenheim Museum in New York, his autonomous method was however denied in my attempt to capture pathways as object. The museum contains a fluid ramp system that raps a courtyard open space within the museum. Instead of capturing the ramp at its entirety, two parts of the museum was captured as form, like the back of a women's back, this seperation from autonomy to subjective normalism was opted; towards a tribute to Gursky. f1.4 1/60second

4. Bleach Water Space- The place is Coney Island, afters it fame dwindled it became a dead space; Coney Island is in its revitalization proccess, during that proceess things are laid bare and with out "flare" An iconic place is now seen as a decaying
pop image. The idea was to capture the icon ats it eroded state. f/22 1/120 second
