Exploring Relationships-part 2

The coolest thing happened,

I was out shooting on tuesday, working on my "relationships" series. I wanted to take my "models" on location around the city. This shot was taken on a fire hydrant. As I was shooting a nice man on a bike & trailer stopped to ask me about my photo project. I was only to happy to depart from my current task and share with him. I am always so pleased when someone (anyone) takes an interest in my creative endeavors. After a 15 minute conversation, Dave asked me if he could make a post about me in the Ann Arbor Chronicle. I was completely flattered. So I thought I would share the shot he found me taking. The link for the article is below, you can see the fire hydrant behind me. Now you all know the secret to my elaborate landscapes (fire hydrants) lol. I will be continuing this series over the next month so please share your thoughts & ideas.

Exploring Relationships

We often draw from previous life events to make sense of new information. I created this series in hopes of exploring the dynamics of relationships and the interaction of human beings. I hope that others are able to identify with these images & find comfort in visual story telling. Please feel free to leave comments and share what the story means to you.

About the image: Experimenting with macro photography " creatively".
I found these little plastic figures at a shop downtown and thought they would make for a nice photo series, since I am wanting to explore macro photography. However I don't yet own a macro lens so I tried to recreate the function of one.( I used a magnifying glass) I narrowed it down the image from 7 to 3 but still couldn't choose just one, so I decided to do a tryptic. The aspect ratios are different, creative problem solving.. add a film border (I think it lends to the feeling of a series of events).
