garage

I stopped at the Toledo Hospital Children's ER this evening to drop off a DVD burner to a friend of mine who's a doc there. On the way out I noticed the parking garage. So I indulged myself.

 

I've been thinking lately about how there are spaces we cross through daily, or at least regularly, that we don't really notice. They're utilitarian public space.

 

I intended it as a study of space that we use and don't really think about. I wanted it shown in stark terms; black and white, straight lines, no stylization. I wanted each shot to be obvious, not obfuscated. I also had the 50 on so no distortion, no zooming just human shots of the space. And I wanted to show the inside that we come in contact with, not the outside that we see from afar.

 

I was going to do this as a series (or more than three - this tych is missing a couple cool shots) and then kind of went with the triptych idea.

 

They are ordered as they would have been located in the vertical geography of the actual garage...

 

Oh and yeah - these where processed with Photoshop B&W adjustment layers and little bit of curves.

 

Maybe I'm taking this too seriously... it was just an idea.
