I have considered many ideas for my semester-long project, but the most compelling concepts have all been linked by one distinct characteristic: the unseen, or seldom seen.
As we grow familiar with a place, we begin to limit our interaction with it, and we form habits of movement through our local environment.
Unfortunately, this process of familiarization turns places that were once unknown and mystifying into racetracks along which we speed in our daily lives.
Inspired by my Point Lookout pilgrimage, I want to depict some familiar scenes at an odd time of day, or from unique vantage points.
One idea I have is shooting late night shots along the St. Mary's River, setting up a tripod as far out in the water as possible, and shooting the night scene from 1 foot above the water. I should either use high ISO film, or long exposure for these shots.
Another idea is shooting two collections of campus landmarks, one from 15-20 feet high (at the top of a step ladder), and the other from ground level.
