oh, childhood.

So in this post I'm attaching my most recent photography project. It's funny because a lot of my other projects have been kind of leading up to this one. They're big prints (20x30 inches) or relatively large anyway.

They are supposed to go in a row, horizontally, but I couldn't get them to sit all on one line so I'm showing them to you like this instead.
Something I've been really interested in the past few months is this sort of edgy, borderline age we're are at. Us lucky twenty-somethings. I wanted to create images that had a type of cut/copy aesthetic in a sense, that were very much composited and both reflected it and didn't. So there are seamless composites in addition to areas of these photographs that one would immediately recognize as being photoshopped (spell?). I like the tension these people create, just by doing things & playing games that society recognizes as childplay. That in combination with the upside-down skies, the friction between city & nature, as well as between beauty and grim, creates some interesting dichotomies throughout the pictures.
Enjoy. Obviously they don't look as good here as printed, but oh well, what can you do.
