 Took photographs of my friend quince. On March 11, I took these collection of photographs of him around Bardstown. The photographs showcase his style and how he corresponds with the street around him as well. I myself am a big fan of these images. That same week I took images of a dj set in downtown Louisville.  Capturing photos of people enjoying their time with their friends.  

 Took more photographs of my friends at Maxs apartment. Capturing them in their natural state. We were playing headbands. I took photographs of them thinking about what character they were. I also took photographs  of Emiliano when we went out to play basketball. What i want for this series is to showcase a feeling of  friendship and  fun. 

 Took photographs of my friends this weekend. Everyone was sick for a while. I had a chance to see my friends Max, Emiliano, and Skyler. They were playing poker. I myself don't know how to play. I stayed and took photos. Capturing their appearance and the cards on the table. The apartment is small and has decent lighting. Next week i will take more.

 For my capstone project i decide to take photographs of my friends and their "space". My inspiration for this project was Gabriele Galimberti photo series "Toy Stories". For two years he visited more than 50  countries and photograph boys and girls in their homes and neighborhood. Capturing their pride and their natural joy. I would do something similar capturing my friend in their homes. I would also write about them. Giving you a bit of background of this person and why they are my friends. I also want to have a photo with me and my friend in their space as well.  Showcasing friendship and joy.
