A Gestalt principle that I took into account through the duration of this project was the concept of direction. I wanted my photographs to lead the eyes in a certain direction. One idea I tried to keep in mind was the abstractness when it came to my images. Many may think of photographs with directions as ones of winding roads or the line of a hay field disappearing into the distance. I attempted to capture leading lines in a more unconventional way.
The images collected in this gallery also capture what South Congress is to me. I come from the hills and endless fields and forests of Vermont. Street performers, graffiti, and all the subjects that make up South Congress are quite foreign to me. So, for my project, I also wanted to capture the images that capture me.
