A Decisive Moment

Overview

This is a series of six photos where we were tasked with just carrying our cameras around with us and taking photos in the moment. No set up, no prelude, just what we saw at that specific time in a given moment.

While I was out taking photos of the Kishwaukee river, I started noticing repetition of ways humans left their mark on nature from desire paths to benches to the railroads parallel to the trail, and even though they weren’t of the Kish I took photos of them. I applied them to his project instead–in the moment real findings of how we as humans interacted with the world around us.


Not all of the photos included from the series are from that walk along the river, but they still held that idea of taking time to recognize how we play a role in the world while I’m holding the camera.
