First I have been working on a series of images revolved around Suicide. It's a topic very close to me and I want to work with the issue in the upmost respect and effect. I started brainstorming early last semester about what I could do next in Photography to explore and learn some new things and I thought of doing something minimally lit.  Then mixing B/W and possibly some different kinds of perspective shots. On the side there is an early shot I took for Asphyxiation. When this set is finished, each picture will be printed and then physically layered and destroyed with added elements like glue, water, sandpaper, fire, etc. I wanted to make each of these images unique and personal.  I am shooting for an estimated finish time on this set for August of this year.

The second portfolio of images I am wishing to create revolve around my hometown and surrounding towns in Knox, Peoria and Fulton counties in Illinois. The work relates to the progression from the nineties to present day and how the area has been affected by Economic trials and tribulations.  I've been researching past companies, businesses and manufacturing facilites that have closed and how that reflects into the census data. I plan on using some elements of this in the final products, but the series is going to have a strong focus on how time progresses and how areas can change. Ive taken many shots of old and abandoned structures in these counties and only have a few more locations to get photos of before I end up choosing the end result of what will end up being final.  I've included an early unedited photo to the left of this post.
