Stopping to smell the Trans

For my first project I decided to document an epic trip to Marfa, Texas I went on with my friends. My chosen method to do this was photography a medium with which I have very little experience. The photos were by no means comparable to those of a professional photographer but they were more than sufficient at displaying my project.

Unfortuantely, the big Marfa open house weekend while it was amazing was simply a collection of art galleries. I quickly realized exactly how static a medium paintings can be. So without and sweeping transition to document, I was forced to appreciate the little transformations that occur throughout our daily life.

I think my project served as a nice foil to many of the compelling topics that were presented alongside mine in class.
