St. Pete used to be a city that was bustling with life and fashion and energy. Ocean Drive, once thriving, is now vacant. The architecture seems aged; hundreds of small independently owned shops are closed. They wait with sad windows to be reclaimed and brought back to life. A part of me wanted to narrate the emptiness of the city, it's historic splendor. "The street cleaner" (dark here, I need to dodge and print much larger) is an illustration of those facets, and I am very interested in what his character symbolizes. That's all I'm going to say for now. Hah, comments and critiques greatly appreciated.

In the sense of a narrative, Hierarchy has the most appeal. The visual elements are arranged nicely, great use of shadow, and I enjoy that the tilt of the frame matches the tilt of the subject's head. Overgrowth reminds me of Edward Steichen's flat iron photo. Is the title Hierarchy a clue to the narrative?
ReplyDeleteYes it is.. and that's great news because that is the piece I'd like to finalize and bring to critique!
