In my past drifts, I always explored wide open areas during the day and images with color. For my last drift, I want to do something entirely different; a closed in space at night. A particular area I have in mind is in Glendale, WI near the Bayshore mall. In this area, there is the mall, a park, and a secluded graveyard. The graveyard interests me the most because I think it would be a challenge to work with such repetitive materials (such as gravestones) and make it interesting, even though, technically, I'm showing the same type of image over and over. I also like the park right next to the graveyard because it gives it this interesting contrast of life and death, which I would like to explore.
For my image strategy, I plan on capturing images that contrast each other, particularly images that are very lively, with constant motion or vibrant colors, along with images that are 'dead' in a sense, such as statues in the graveyard and then contrasting those images.
I would also like to collect contrasting sounds. For example, I would collect the soft sound of the wind and contrast it with the shrill sound of laughter. I would like a mixture of lively sounds, such as voices and birds, along with soft, subtle sounds such as the wind.
