I found myself returning to the Fenway Gardens to make photographs for the still life unit. I’m somewhat attracted to still life’s due to the nature of how i photograph the spaces i enter. I thought the individual plots at the public gardens would work well since every spot seems so unique and individualized. Plus photographing such spaces would seem to push the idea/definition of what a “still life” really is. Is it something we come to make within’ a studio setting? Or can we apply it to the exterior? The days i shot the photographs, the light was perfect for what i had in mind. The actually spaces are bordered in and locked up, so i had to jump a fence with my 4x5 for most of the shots. Never the less, it was more exciting than anything. I found success with developing as well. The center image i would crop differently, yet for the most part i’m certainly happy with how these came out...
