life’s not a paragraph

i’ve been on a photography kick lately. it has been awhile since i went out and just took pictures. luckily, i was able to integrate photography in my last project for design issues and processes. i mentioned in an earlier post that i was interviewing rania matar, the photographer, for class and that i had to create a piece inspired by her work.

since i don’t have the ability to take photos in the middle east, i figured that i would take photos of what i am surrounded by– boston. rania’s latest book is called “ordinary lives”. my idea stemmed from that. the ordinary lives of people in boston.

i carried my camera around with me for about a week. unfortunately, it rained six out seven days that week. needless to say, i didn’t get very many photos those six days. but the seventh day, that saturday, was so beautiful…. sunny…. warm… perfect. everyone was out in the commons. i got so many great images for my project.

and now i am going down to mississippi! i am really looking forward to taking pictures of the process of building a house. i will definitely be posting a bunch when i get back!
