An experiment in classical reportage aesthetic (with a personal twist) before I go abroad. This will become a personal book cut and spliced in with images from students and professors working in Traina when I'm done with it. I already have nearly 300 frames shot in Traina center on a mixture of film and digital, and should hopefully have enough visual range in the images to find ones that I can pair effectively with these Worcester photographs. I'm exploring the contrasts I see in the city and the emotions I have about them versus how I feel about my immediate enviroment in the sheltered University. This is a contrast that I deal with often, especially immediately after returning to Worcester from San Diego. I hope to explore this discomfort and juxtaposition to gain a better understanding of it through photo-bookmaking before I travel for all of next semester. The selection will be eclectic; this idea is too young for me to edit it down yet, and I feel that the work will organically take shape over the next few weeks.
