For this project, we were told we were to pay homage to a famous photographer. I chose Berenice Abbott, a photographer from the mid 1900's who studied under Man Ray, and produced a collection of photographs called "Changing New York," which showed how the city was changing throughout the decade.
I plan to pay homage to Abbott, by pretending like she's with me when I go take my photos. I plan to contrast parts of the city that are old, with parts of the city that are new like Abbott did. Here are some of the pictures I've already taken:
She used a lot of dimension and interesting angles in her photos to help show how the city was changing. I plan to go to both downtown St. Paul & Minneapolis, and try to pay homage to her portrayal of New York City.
