Gestalt
Taking photos on South Congress is something almost everyone in Austin has done at some time. So when we were constrained to shooting only on South Congress I wanted to try and not focus on the iconic soco spots. Instead I tried to only photograph things that I had not seen before or things that were not going to stay in place (birds, cars, people). When i go out and shoot on my own I usually don’t set rules for what I want to shoot, I just go out and see what I run into. Setting these rules for the project helped me to focus on the subject and not spend as much time taking photos of random things. My photos are mostly characterized by bright colors or sharp textures, helping them stand out and pop.
