This week, I’ve struggled a bit to find inspiration for myself to keep this project moving forward. While I experienced relative success in the initial phase of this new project, In the Age of Corona, making three photo sets in one week, keeping the momentum going has been harder.
Last week, I went without taking any photos as I didn’t feel as if there was anything worthy of photographing. This could’ve possibly been due to me being confined to the house more and being consumed more by school work. In the spirit of keeping the photographical juices flowing, I’ve renewed my dedication to continuing making work. I set out upon the neighborhood to take photos of anything.
During my walk around the neighborhood, I took photos of the smoke from people burning fallen tree limbs from a recent storm, abandoned or old structures, and the trees. I found that there will still photos in this set that shared a sense of isolation and melancholy, and these were the photos of the empty streets surrounded by trees and peeping sunlight. I aptly named this collection Streets.
