Align

This is Patrick Caires. For my Spring 2009 Digital Documentary Photography Class final project, (which is to choose a cohesive theme) I will be documenting & bring understanding into how humans align. In day-to-day life. I want to show the uniqueness in how lines are composed and the people waiting in them. The emotion is important for me to try to exhibit. The people’s state of mind. So it turns out to be a two prater: The art of the lines themselves and he people in them. One More Thing: I find it very interesting at times how we, us humans must conform and form a line. It can be very dominating and I think this project might show the rule we follow under our society.


This project idea came to me from my father. Many years ago in my High School Photography class w/Mr. Fortayon I had to come up with some ideas for a shooting direction for the semester. My father said “how about lines!” Examples he said were people standing in lines at the grocery store, movie theaters, bathrooms DMV…


The schedule of doing this project is going to be tough. Currently I’m having trouble getting starting but, once I do get these gears in motion I will focus on shooting during all times of the day. Morning and evening because a lot of action happens during the hustle and bustle of living. Going to work, lunch traffic…
Laying this out is still pending. Most likely my presentation will be prints. The project will evolve in its own and the layout will pursue it.


So there you have it. To convey the beauty and randomness in line forming. The control and order that exist in lines. This I will show you. This you will see.
