Photos Inspired By Eggleston, Shore and Christenberry.




For this assignment, I decided to go back to the areas where I "shot" without a memory card. I like the drive we took, because it winds through newly developed areas, to middle class neighborhoods to deteriorating ghettos. Most of these shots were done directly from the car, and a few I actually ran out to shoot and ran back into the car. I think by the end, my boyfriend, Dave, was irritated by my "stop, now reverse, ok, ok, stop again," that was happening every other block. We drove around for about 2 1/2 hours and saw some cool places I haven't ever been to before, so It's something I'd like to continue doing. Anyway, here are the photos.

We stopped by Buckeye Doughnuts to get some food before our journey, so I decided to take the photos there. We sat at the counter with 3 other guys who were watching a game, so I worked up the nerve to ask if I could take their picture. I asked the solo guy first, to which he replied "who, me?" He looked around like I was talking to someone else, and I was like, "no, you." So, I explained what I was doing and quickly shot a photo of him. Then I asked the 2 guys who were sitting on the other side, and they said sure. I didn't really talk to them much, and we left after that. I tried to see if there were any other people around, but it was so cold that there weren't many people out. So, here's what I took:
