Transition

My photographs represent my transition to the University of Florida. I recently transferred from Santa Fe College, so I am trying to adjust from a semi-small environment to an even larger environment. Each photo shows my process of discovering the campus. My goal for each photo was to depict John Szarkowski’s five issues, such as the thing itself, the detail, the frame, the time, and the vantage point. I have some images that are my favorite, and I believe these few photos represent all of Szarkowski’s five issues.

 

Some of my pictures focus on shadows, and I was inspired by the work of the photographers Harry Callahan and Paul Strand. For example, the photo of my shadow on the sidewalk. Also, my picture with the star water fountain represents Szarkowski’s issues concerning time and detail. When I took a photo of the water fountain, the water is paused, and I noticed the bubbles within the water stream. Moreover, if I had to pick which photograph was my favorite, it would be the picture with me crouched down in the hallway. I love this photo because I like how I changed the filter to black and white. After all, the building my class was in gives me early 50 and 60 vibes. Overall, I hope you enjoy viewing my photos and that they help you feel as if you are exploring the campus with me.
