More Street Shots.
Campus.
High St. and Hudson St.
High St. at Oakland Ave.
These are some shots I took on a long drive around Columbus. I pretty much hit up all sides of Columbus except for the South side. I also went to New Albany for the first time, which was one of the weirdest places I have ever been to. Everything is supposed to look old and is in the Georgian style, but everything looks new and fake. On top of that, everything is surrounded by a white fence. Not like a picket fence, but a horse fence. I guess I just don't understand people that want to live in the country but be surrounded by a bunch of people. I'd either like to live in the country in the middle of some woods, or live in the city. Another thing I noticed was the differences in the amount of people out walking around in different neighborhoods. People are always walking around on OSU campus and the Short North, but there were also a ton of people out walking around in the Mount Vernon Area, as well as areas in the poorer parts of the west side. As I got to the North West side, there were very few people out, and they were usually only working on their yards. Very few people were out in New Albany also. It made me wonder, what exactly they were all doing. Anyways, I feel like the shots I got were a little better because my brother came with me, and we took his car, which is a Diplomat from the early 80's. Basically, it's a big white hoopty car which gets a lot of attention from people we drive past. Because of this, more people in the photos appear to be looking at the camera, but they are actually looking at the car. Normally I don't get as many people looking towards the camera in my Rav4.

Helen Levitt Inspired Photographs.
I went out and shot these yesterday while out shooting my long-term documentary work. Most of these were shot from a car, as there weren't a lot of people out walking around where we were, so it was kind of a double challenge to not only shoot people without looking through the camera, but also to shoot from a moving car. Most of them turned out either blurry or I missed the people, so these were the ones I thought turned out the best. The documentary stuff needs some work, and I ended up with some unexpected challenges with the old photos I chose to replicate this week (they are way too small), so those will be posted later.
