Senior Thesis II

Senior Fall 2010

Abandoned Trailer, Jan 2010

Over winter break I convinced my sister to drive around with me and my camera looking for pictures. Of course we found this random road that lead to huge development houses. Randomly, on the side of the road we saw this trailer surrounded by piles of tires buried in the snow. The trailer was abandoned and really run down and although it was slightly sketchy we went into it anyways. These are some photos of the strange insides the trailer and also some of my sister, who grudgingly put up with the very cold temperature for my photos.

Nahant Interiors Nov 2009

My project from this semester started as an interest in personal spaces and wanting to describe the inhabitants of a home by photographing them and their environment. Because most people are very unwilling to let a stranger into their home and photograph it, I had to start with the people who would let me into their homes, my family. These photographs are the result of spending the majority of the semester with my grandparents in their home in Nahant. The project developed from a study of people in their environment, to almost a re-introduction to my grandparents and to their life. I really enjoyed all of the time I spent with them and hopefully I can continue this project in someway in the future.
