Urban Decay.
NYC. I went with my friends for a weekend in NYC on the 18th and 19th of February 2011. Urban Decay was a project that scared me because I had no means of approaching it correctly. I decided to use my pictures that I have just recently taken in New York City because I feel like they depict my version of urban decay. Urban decay to me is when something that was once beautiful, has its own definition of beautiful now. I discovered the beauty in graffiti and how simple changes to something can actually enhance its natural look. New York is a diverse place, and we got lost on our way to Soho, so we ended up in an area of urban decay.

Photographer Report
1. Harry Callahan
2. October 22, 1912
3. Harry Callahan was a man who kept no personal records or way of telling the world how he did things. Callahan simply led by example. He was born on October 22, 1912, then appointed to teach photography in 1946 at the Institute of Design in Chicago. He took thousands of photos in a day, yet at the end of the year Harry only came out of a half-dozen photos a year. Callahan mainly photographed his wife and his daughter, not out of love and affection, but out of how he could use the possibilities of photography to show others what he was doing. Harry Callahan's work was personally oriented and it tried to interpret his familial relationships. He was known as one of the great innovators of modern American photography. Callahan died in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1999.
4. Harry Callahan is known for his work in being one of the greatest innovators of modern American photography. He was also well known for his photography of his immediate family, his wife Eleanor and his daughter, Barbara. When Callahan was a teacher in Chicago, he encouraged his students to take his point of view and turn the camera on their lives. His photographs show a strong sense of form and line, along with light and darkness because of where he lived. Harry also used Eleanor and Barbara in every one of his photos, no matter large or small within the frame, they were always there, always dominating the viewers perception.
5. I was attracted to Harry Callahan's work because I also love to make my family the subjects of my photographs. I believe Callahan's work is moving because you can feel the love he has for his wife and child through the images he has published. The fact that Harry can evoke emotion through a photograph is what makes it great.

Motion Blur!
I intended on going about this project without using lights from cars and cities, but then I thought why not? I decided to do things in a theme of the places I go weekly. I took pictures on my drives to Akron, Wadsworth, Green, Alliance, and Cleveland. I drive to Akron every weekday from my hometown of Wadsworth, and I also drive out to Green and Alliance to see friends; the trip to Cleveland was for a Cavs game. From taking these photos, my eyes were opened to how a camera sees the world, especially at night. The lights from the cities and cars on the highway were streaky and very artsy. Over half of my photos were accidents, so I guess the theme of this project could also be called 'Beautiful Accidents.'
