Ground Beneath My Feet

For my continuation of surface exploration I took pictures of the surfaces I came in contact with- gravel, pavement, grass, carpet etc... I initially wanted to mark my day out with pictures of the ground I made contact with- however I wasn't getting a final product I was pleased with. I played around with crops, lighting, zooms and through looking at them I went out to collect more images. I wasn't sure exactly where I was going with this, my goal was to get a variety of surfaces to analyze texture but I found the most interesting to be the concrete and gravel. The textures and patterns from the spills, garbage and cracks was very appealing to me. There was such variety in something I saw as just a sidewalk. Something we walk across everyday and pay no attention to had something beautiful to reveal. My final piece resulted in a video format with over 150 photographs. I am not completely happy with the final as I want to investigate man-made surfaces further.
