[|Carl Yoshihara] - Interiorscape (bottom left, untitled): Yoshihara does mostly photography, with a lot of more abstract pieces of subjects, rather than a whole scene. This picture deviates from his usual subject matter, because it's a whole scene in a bar, not just one small part of it. This picture has a weirdly familiar vibe, like you could've been there before, but you don't specifically remember. I really love the repetition in the pool tables and the leading lines they create. [|Paul Politis] - Landscape (right, part of his //In Passing// series): Politis typically photographs landscapes, sometimes with people in them, but they are usually black and white and they're usually places that could really be anywhere.. This picture feels really impermanent, because it's such a vague landscape, it could've been taken anywhere, and to add to that effect, the horizon isn't level. There isn't much special about the photo compositionally, but the point of view evokes an interesting spirit of adventure. [|Paul Raphaelson]- Cityscape (top left, part of his //Lost Spaces, Found Gardens// series): Raphaelson deals a lot with urban culture and dilapidated spaces.This image demonstrates that with the focus being on the abandoned car seat in the middle of the street. This photo feels kind of haunted and creepy, because of the juxtaposition of the busy city and the solitary bench. Everything just feels a touch out of place. This photo uses rule of thirds to make the viewer look at the whole composition.

My concept for this project was places that have kind of become mindscapes, because of the memories I have of them. The imagery is surreal and and memory-like, because I am trying to portray the way places look in my mind. I used a lot of fluorescent lighting, because it is really unnatural and can give an image a weird, off-putting vibe, and your memories of a place are usually warped from what that place actually looks like. I am going to combine interiorscapes/landscapes/cityscapes to create a mindscape. I'm not sure how big I want my final image to be. It will probably be about 8x11 or so, either on a piece of glass or a mirror.
