Goodbye, AmeriCorps

My AmeriCorps term with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee is officially over (despite having a bunch of paperwork stuff to finish up). It was definitely a roller coaster ride, but I learned so much about Milwaukee that I never knew. I bonded with people I never thought I would and I hope I taught Milwaukee's youth a thing or two about photography!


I hope the next year tests my abilities and limits as much as this job has...

Inspiration: Bill Jacobson

I cannot stop thinking about the way Bill Jacobson's work makes me feel. The mute fogginess, monochromatic tones and simple subject matter create a sense of helplessness. For as long as I stare at his images, I still feel concerned for the subjects.. as if they are displaced from their own emotions and surroundings.

Here are a couple of pinhole photographs that are my attempt to convey the same feeling:



I enjoy the dark quality of these. However, I would also like to try the white on white method.
