Instead of playing with deadpan*, I played around with a different kind of style while I was walking through a neighborhood I usually drive through, SF’s Haight District. For the first half of the trip, I focused mainly on observing from a new perspective, trying to capture the kinds of things that I wouldn’t see from inside the car.
For the second half, I went back to my safe zone, portraits, and also walked through a different part of the city. I’m trying to expand my style and I was in two new places, one of which I had never walked through before, and one of which I just don’t get to spend enough time in. This gave the setting extra importance, so I began to play around with background and foreground.
*Were we supposed to play with deadpan or no? I got slightly confused?
