3 of my images: week 2

This photograph was part of our subculture project for 'kale vue'. One of the things I was thinking about involved domestic life. I began photographing some of the routines I carry out on a daily or weekly basis to explore the domestic aspect of my identity.

This photograph is is of an antique shop's window front along Broadway in Denver. I was drawn to all the objects on the shelves, viewing them more as a collection rather than individual pieces or parts. The objects were neatly arranged in small clusters that were seemingly related. I found myself trying to draw connections between them or invent narratives for them in my head.

I included this photograph as part of our subculture project on 'kale vue.' While looking through my bedroom I began photographing some of the objects I have held onto over the years. These fishnets represent memories of a particular time in my life when I really became interested in house music and dancing. Yet when photographing them I was more interested in trying to make them an obscure abstract object whose meaning is ambiguous.
