The brief has shifted for my street photography project. This is the in-work statement right now. And the logo.
There’s the moment of crossing the avenue when you suddenly find yourself positioned in a place you’re not quite supposed to be. This is the space where the taxis, cars, and delivery trucks travel. Even as you walk, one is edging closer, waiting for you to pass. It is not a space occupied by the stationary (person or vehicle).
But the view is beautiful. The glimpse down the long avenue, the light that draws out long shadows on the city streets, this is beautiful. The transition from block to block is there, if sometimes smaller and more fleeting than others. There is a consciousness of crossing a street, that is absent from step to step within the block itself. It is the view from the street that you catch in parts, and recognize the enormity of the city. It is the parting of the buildings, and the long streets that fade into a distance you can not see.
I am interested in capturing and exhibiting this momentary view. The conscious transition from one space to another is fascinating.
