The next specific assignment André gave me was to look and my image archives and find individual images that represent documentary/external and then find images that represent the internalized search and put them together to create new meanings and visual language. I wrote before about the seemingly divided avenues of my work. Looking back on the images that I made over a decade ago before working as a commercial photographer, it felt like I had a much more cohesive vision. I then gathered images, finding ways to combine the disparate intentions into new relationships.
Captain, Ghost Ship, Water's light.
Lupeni, Romania
Student's Struggle; Santiago, Chile
Home After Katrina
Boston Marathon, Before the Explosions
Given a Voice, Chile.
It was in this group of images that I pulled together some recent cityscape work.
André responded to these images more than the collages as a whole. He felt like this was the work that I should engage in a more sustained focused way. It brings together a lot of the issues around exploring the mechanics of photography in new ways. For the rest of the semester, I am going to focus on producing more images for the "City Spirit" series.
