This is a photo from my series, Disposables, taken on Myrtle Street. The Disposables series (titled after the type of camera used) works to evoke simple gratification from its viewers, allowing them to appreciate common beauty in their own surroundings, as if they were tourists just now learning the everpresent and free luxuries that surround them. By disabling many features and conveniences of digital photography, I was forced to find visual glory in the most ordinary scenes. Through this plastic lens, viewers are infected with a sense of nostalgia, accompanied by the fondness of familiarity.
