Photography: Genre work...




Genre: Exit the city. Reference: Fairy Tale; Fantasy; Cubism Painting (Picasso)

Basically I did a field trip around echo park area, I was fascinated by all the narrow paths in-between the houses. They are all going up to the hill, visually generating a dramatic view for the house or elements far away. I received a very different feeling walking through these paths, for the moment I almost felt like I was on my way of escaping from the city. So I wanted to express the experience by manipulating the photographs I've taken from varies angles and collaging them into one composition to reinforce the dreamlike experience I'm trying to illustrate.

This was fun.

The making of MOVE...




We just had the thesis midterm, in the review I came to realize I still have problem with clarifying my thesis through the work I've produced so far. That sucks.
And now we are supposed to be fully engaged into the production of our project. As for me, sadly I really don't feel the drive in me at this point. in fact, I haven't really felt the drive since the beginning of the thesis semester. Some days I was actually thinking about becoming a concept artist might be more suitable for my nature.

But nevertheless, "I've chosen to take the path of doing architecture, therefore I need to be responsible for that decision as well as for my life." ... I kept telling myself.

Yes, I need to make a kickass thesis. So fuck everything else.
