Stuff

I think I might have just started a new series. "Stuff." Don't you like my titles? They are to the point : ). While photographing people in the "Home" (another brilliant series name) series, I became intrigued by their stuff (or lack thereof.) I feel like we can learn a lot about people by the stuff they have around them. Mostly the stuff in the place that they feel most at home. There is a strong tie here to the "Home" series, but it is a little different. I want to photograph people doing their thing (I am apparently into motion right now too) in the place they are most often and feel free to dump their belongings. Does that make sense? Maybe it's their car, maybe its their room, maybe it's their kitchen:





If I print these, I really want to print them large. I feel like the details are important! You have to observe them to learn about the person in the photograph. I feel like these are biographies in a way. I want the person to be in their natural scene doing something they normally do with their space they way it normally is. I want the pictures to be honest. "This is me. This is my stuff. This is who I am."
