Gestalt Project:
For this project we were told to shoot on South Congress and to find our own point of view on what we saw. The hard part of this for me was shooting to a somewhat set criteria. I don’t like having to take pictures according to some guidelines. I like to have the freedom to shoot what I want and where I want. Being confined to certain blocks of South Congress was a struggle for me. I found myself just wondering up and down the street having no idea what to take pictures of. I’m from Austin I’m used to this street and although it doesn’t lack its awe I still found it hard for me to walk this and find new ways to shoot this popular street. In the end I found myself with pictures that contain a linear theme. Either vertically or horizontally all my pictures have leading lines. In a way it captures the casual side of Austin while still keeping it interesting with a different perspective.
