Pushing Farther

The images below represent the bulk of my sustained inquiry refocusing on this series after my last meeting with André. Picking up this body of work and breathing new life and energy into it gives me great enthusiasm. My other work with the time lapse feels more like an intellectual drill, fruitful yes, but as I pursue the series below, I know that it was birthed from solely my own personal experience and history of exploring the medium of photography. The nature of the work is experimental. I am searching for a particular look, feeling and pathos. Of the many tens of thousands of images that I took the ones below get at what I am seeking to express.

I brought these prints 13x19" to my next mentor meeting and we discussed what was working and what visual language I want to speak with the image. André encouraged me to look at the series for diptychs that have a certain continuity between images. He felt that the images that are working the best are the ones that move past being photographic into the realm of transmedia. My hope is to bring some of the past work together with these new images and produce more to complete a solid large format series that I can then exhibit. While I am closing in on a cohesive series, I still want to continue to experiment and open myself up to the new discoveries.
