Student Choice: Urban Decay #2

For project 6 I did my student choice project as Urban Decay (again). I really enjoyed this project the first time and wanted to continue this project in more depth. Find different location to stress the feel of the "urban" effect.

(Lupe Fiasco -Coming Up)

This is a song I listened to has I was taking my pictures for this project. It reminds me how the Urban of the world is slowly going down hill, going through hard time but with the help of the community it can COME BACK UP and be a better place to live in.

Urban Decay

Urban Decay: This was my 1st project I attacked for the start of the 4th quarter. My pictures were taken in downtown Akron, Cleveland, and Geneva. I enjoyed taking pictures for this project, because as a photographer a person can see a different sight of beauty. Some people tend to think that Urban Decay is directed only towards the ghetto of the world. I am the one to say that is a lack of ignorance. When it simply can mean a place or object that has changed over time and has resulted to a lower quality. I look at graffiti as a misunderstood work of art and the walls of an old shack house as once someone's place that they called home sweet home. Looking beyond measures to see not just with our eyes, but with our minds was highly important to take on this project properly. I feel that this is one of my best and favorite projects and something I would continue to take pictures for "students choice". -C.Evans
