Let It Out

Oh punny titles, when will you stop being amazing?

There's a lot of grain in this one, because when I was printing it I needed to bump the contrast way up. But I like it. It makes the plastic feel rough and the torn wall paper feel gritty. It's a good feeling for this kind of photo.

Monochrome Photo Week! Day 7: Jericho

The title is a little grandiose, but I think it contrasts well with the cinder block 'n gravel aesthetic. And speaking of contrast, I love the shadow detail in this one. All the subtle cracks and crumbles.

This is part of my final portfolio project I'm working on, documenting functional decay: things in a state of falling apart yet still doing what they're intended to do. I chose to make my portfolio on this specific point in the lifespan of a functional thing because it's a weird concept but one that kinda fascinates me and that I already have a bunch of prints of it.

And with that, Monochrome Photo Week comes to a close!
