More Semi-urban Shabby Chic, Hexar RF, 50 Hexanon, TriX/Diafine

I seem to be shooting a lot of stuff like this lately. It’s what I see everyday, so I guess it’s somewhat natural, but I’m not too sure about it. More on this later.

  1. there’s something about ordinary things…..
    we shoot them, we’re not sure why…
    I’ve been thinking about it too lately:

    I think we shoot ordinary things because that’s what we know best. Each photographer’s ordinary is going to be a little different. What the NYC or Tokyo street photographer sees everyday is not what I see everyday. At the moment, what I’m seeing everyday is the same thing I’ve seen nearly everyday for my whole life; mid-west college town, slightly down at the heels, still trying to get back to the glory days when the rail lines brought a lot wealth. Champaign is a particularly fine example of this because of where it sits on the curve of gentrification.
