Project 365 Day 52

My final project for my Large Format class. All photographs shot on 4x5 film.

 

"The opposite of war isn't peace, it's creation." - Rent.

 

The idea originally was to create a peaceful looking landscape using smoke which has graceful movements when looked at closely and without fire. What I ended up happening when I developed the film was the look of an after war scene, the remains of a location that at one time was peaceful, happy and full of life. I wanted to create peace, but I create war instead.

An old brick house, unmowed grass, and scraggly trees add to the desolation of this farmhouse in eastern Iowa. The stories this house could tell.

Praise be to Nero's Neptune

The Titanic sails at dawn

And everybody's shouting

Which side are you on?

And Ezra Pound and T.S Eliot

Fighting in the captain's tower

While calypso singers laugh at them

And fishermen hold flowers

Between the windows of the sea

Where lovely mermaids flow

And nobody has to think too much

About Desolation Row.

Went for a small bushfighting with me classmate Aaron out at Makara. Aaron had a theory about things in the bushes and we decided to check it out.

 

The bush was grey and dead, pretty weird place

A view that I captured on the way to Indiana Wesleyan for a track meet. It captures the desolate theme as there are no buildings in sight and the field is very barren.

Llanfairfechan, Wales. Desolate cold windy afternoon, brightened by some beautiful Swans.
