These various sources provide inspiring insight for our upcoming photography book assignment. I felt that these series’ captured a moment in time and provided a great example of “a picture is worth a thousand words” the image of the Japanese being incarcerated were deep and meaningful. As I recently discussed with Professor Chupa, I believe these series have encouraged me to take an approach that captures the essence of a time and place. The twist that will make it unique to my own will be its emphasis on nature and its everlasting effect on the world as we know it. I will be capturing the Lehigh community and the city of Bethlehem from the perspective of raw nature and the wilderness it brings with it.
