A few new images in my ongoing series ‘Seeing Lawrence.’ I’m getting pretty serious about this project at this point, and I’m working on expanding how I want the images to be seen. So the frames are very connected to their geographic location, at least in my mind. The idea that someone could walk up to to a print, be familiar with Lawrence, and not know where exactly I took the image is something I’m trying to play off of.
So, I started thinking about maps, and satellite imagery. When I go to a new place I always look at Google Maps before I leave, even if I know where I’m going. I often randomly kill time looking at street view and Google Earth. Seeing a place through satellite images gives such a new and interesting perspective, which is what I’m trying to accomplish with my images. With that in mind, I started thinking about the idea of making diptych images with my image on one side, a screen grab of a satellite image of the exact same location opposite it. I tried it out with one of the most recent images, so I’ll put that at the bottom of the post.
Sometime soon I’ll post a more concise edit of what I’ve shot so far. For now, enjoy the images below, and please share any feedback/thoughts you have in the comments.
