For my first images I was interested in showing the repetitive nature of housing and architectural elements. I hoped to take photographs appearing sterile and cold. The bright white of the buildings in conjunction with the idealized manufactured landscape creates a sense of unease for the viewer. I specifically took photographs from angles which make the buildings appear to go on forever. I wanted the viewer to imagine an endless landscape of the same architectural style. Over the weekend, I took the photographs on two different locations but all of the photographs above were taken at Baldwin Park. They seem to be much more successful than those at the other location because of the color of the buildings. White connotes purity and bliss but can also seem cold and harsh. Also, I started experimenting with exaggerating the colors in photoshop with the first photograph. The color manipulation enhanced the sense of uneasiness and added a sense of sickliness to the image.
