Title: The Playground Rings
Description: Originally from a nostalgic trip back through
childhood, I tried to capture angles similar to that of a
first person perspective. I figured the memories could be
more truely recalled from the photographs if they reflect
how I saw them back then.
Title: The Slide
Description: From the very same nostalgic trip as the image
to the left of this one, The Playground Rings. This slide was
a big deal to the kids who went to this playground back in
it's prime, and I felt it needed recognition. I positioned
the camera to view it as I saw it at a young age, and
captured the feeling of it's grand depths that, when seen
from far away, really don't seem too fantastic.
Title: San Francisco Depths 1
Description: When I was young, I was raised in San
Francisco, California. I've always admired how the city
has always found a way to live on what practically feel
like 90 degree hill drops. Even with Earthquakes, poor
driving habits, terrain that shouldn't otherwise shouldn't be
livable, the look of it never ceases to amaze me.
Title: The Morning Hill
Description: There's a hill in California, a hill that
to the untrained eye appears to be otherwise unremarkable. That
misconception is what allows this hill to have such beauty: The
fact people don't really notice it. A peaceful scene I decided to
play with a bit with camera possitioning. What is actually only
nine benches this photo makes look endless, and controls the
viewer's gaze almost effortlessly.
Title: San Francisco Depths 2
Description: A different street in San Francisco, also
showing the same sense of archetecture designed for such incline.
It almost seems unreal when you let your eyes look at it for
long enough.
