"My first paintball"
"Weekend Getaway" This is skate-a-way. It was where I basically lived every weekend growing up with friends and just hanging out all night.
"My earliest memory" This is a picture of the bowling alley where I bowled at for 16 years of my life, it contains countless memories, with family, friends, and even some with strangers.
"Recess" This is the playground I walked across the street to from my old house with my big brother everyday after school and played on for hours.
Finally, This is my old house, the first house I ever lived in, in fact. It was also the only house I ever lived in with my entire family as a whole before things went in all wrong directions and down hill. I hadn't been here since I moved out and it was awesome seeing everything was still there.
For this weeks assignment I came across Collin Gray's work, which I had never payed much attention to before. Before i knew it I was surprisingly hooked to his work, especially his "Abandoned space"... I knew instantly I wanted to do this for my emulation this week. Each of these pictures also like Collin, feel like empty space to me now, they are old childhood memories. I haven't been to any of these places in such a long time, it was actually really enjoyable re visiting all of them, it brought back a lot of memories for me. These pictures were very emotional to take and that's what I focused more on this week, an emotional type of connection, rather than just looking for an amazing cliche photo.
