What is a document?

In terms of photography, a document is a personal record of the way things are at one precise moment in time. This documentation does not necessarily explain a history or represent something static in the future, but merely a brief second in time represented in two-dimensional terms. This document is a truth of history, and can only be verified now by other visual documentation.

In this project, I attempted to capture one specific short moment. These photographs do not represent the past or the future, but simply one moment in the middle.

Lighting Project

Lighting Project

My favorite time of day is early in the morning, before the rest of the neighborhood is awake. The air is still, and the only noises to be herd are the ones I create for myself. Unfortunately for this assignment, that's also the time of the day when the lighting is worst for photography.
