Three Years Out

In a strange fit of nostalgia, I decided to visit my old high school last weekend. I brought a Toyo field camera to document the experience. I hadn't been back since I graduated three years ago; that's just long enough to forget a lot of things, but being back in that environment reminded me of everything I encountered when I was there.

These images are an attempt to refamiliarize myself with my alma mater, but more specifically to isolate the places I frequented most on campus and capture them within a new frame of mind. All of these seem to give off an air of loneliness, and it isn't necessarily because there are no people in the photographs. The stillness of each image reflects a personal solitude that I employed throughout my high school years.

  1. There is indeed something isolated and lonely about seeing these commonly busy areas completely empty. I really think that black and white film works well for this type of image, since it doesnt take away from the subject matter or imply anything through the use of color.
