The reason I took this class is to become a better photographer. I wanted to challenge myself and grow. When this project was first assigned, I immediately thought about documenting an abandoned house, in black and white, with stark shadows and contrast. But then I remembered why I took the class and changed my mind (that and I couldn't find any abandoned houses). Black and white is what I'm comfortable with, it's what I am drawn towards, and it wouldn't be a challenge. My document will be color in it's basic form. I want to document color and texture out of context. I'm picturing a table full of apples, so close up that you stop seeing apples and only see red. Since I started my color project I'm really surprised at how much color I have been seeing. Things that I took for granted before, like a bright blue dump truck, have been standing out. I think that I will learn through this exercise that color can be just as dramatic and interesting as black and white.
