I spent quite a bit of time trying select what stories to tell for this assignment. I tried to think of things that were pertinent to myself as well as the pictures I take. There is always always always construction going on at Penn State. Sometimes all those closures get in the way. Especially the protuberance on the HUB lawn where there used to be awesome concerts and good times spent basking in the sun. I used to walk alot down Bigler Road and the construction there was a big inconvenience because it took up the whole sidewalk and just caused all sorts of problems. Now though, there is a gorgeous building in place called the Millennium Science Complex and I just love the architecture of it. My first before and after represents all the frustration before but the amazing building that came out of it.
The second set of photos just came out of something that I pass everyday lately and one of my favorite subjects. I love flower photos because, well, flowers are just plain pretty. I ride along Park Avenue to get to class and a house along the road has a small sign that inspired me for the set. My initial plan was to have the sign paired with a flower, but when I went to the arboretum to find some subjects, I was pleasantly surprised to find a different type of plant that seemed perfect for the season.
I have some extra images which were in the style of a single image telling the whole story. They are both similar concepts. The idea is explaining what was once there through what was left behind. For the second image, I got a little lucky by having the story tell itself a little more clearly.
