Last week was my final photo class. For this class, we had to come up with a series of 5 photos and present them to the class. From the very first class, I had been stressing about this assignment. I don't consider myself an artist. A photographer, yes. Artist? not so must. Oh, I know photography is art. But I've never thought that I had the ability to take my pictures to a "higher level." You know, the level where artists think you are good.

My instructor, who is a very well respected photographer in Seattle called my series brilliant. I can't remember the last time anybody ever called anything I did "brilliant."

The pictures of my "installation" really only give you an idea of what it was like. I would post the photos here, but they really make no sense unless they are displayed ....as they were displayed.

The essence of the series was exploring street photography using windows. I used 4 windows. Through each window, I took a photo looking out and a photo looking in. I displayed them "back to back" so that when you were standing on the inside of the "square" you were looking OUT. When you walked around the outside, you looked IN.
