My Neighborhood / Hometown
I will be photographing Corvallis, Oregon because it has been my hometown for the passed fourteen years. I am familiar with many different landmarks, people and activities that happen around it.
I am hoping to be able to get my environmental portrait of Samantha Lewis who was going to be my original subject for the earlier project. She has her tattoo studio right down the street from me and it should have nice lighting if I can get there early enough. For an activity I am either going to get some good shots at the skatepark, the farmers market, wine walk or show.
As for the landmarks, the dog statue downtown is one that I know holds the hearts of many members living and visiting corvallis. Or, the Old World Deli or Squirrels which has been in Corvallis for many years.
I think the one that will pose the biggest challenge is going to be capturing an activity and getting all of the people who are participating in it okay to be photographed and or all of their names.
Photo Story Ideas:
I am hoping to be able to document the CAW - Corvallis Art Walk - that happens every Thursday at different places around town. Ideally I will be able to work with a particular artist in their private studio, the set up of their presentation at the Art Walk and their final art piece.
My other thoughts for doing a photo story is following the documentation process of OSU's Prism magazine of creative art submissions. It would be really neat to be able to work with their team and see their process of selecting submissions, creating pieces, and piecing together the Prism catalog
