The day that I took this photograph I was walking around the neighborhood on the Rondout which is known for its incredibly beautiful historic houses. Old architecture is something I have recently been inspired by and I've been working with it in other mediums, so I decided to try it with photography as well. Another theme I enjoy working with is the concept of home. This photography is a snapshot of someone's home; more than just a house , a place to sleep at night, but where they keep all of their tangible memories where they go to think and collect themselves away from the rest of the world. I would like to print more photos from this series and somehow combine them with my bookbinding endeavors to fully develop my thought process.
I think this picture really does convey the feelings of home. When I go to the Rondout and look down at the area where this picture was taken, I don't get such a feeling. I think the angle and the fact that it's black and white really evoke those feelings of home and comfort. The person does not look out of place at all despite the location.
