Motivation

I spend a lot of time looking at other peoples images in order to get ideas for my own shoots. When I drive around I make notes of places I would like to return to. Sometimes the season isn't right or even the weather. My favorite places are run down buildings or vacant lots and Industrial areas. Living near Pittsburgh there are a lot of old areas in which to shoot in. I just found a great place literally 200 feet from my house that will definitely come in to use in the future. Currently, it's near perfect for certain shoots since none of the trees have leaves and the ground isn't over grown with bushes. But once the growth comes back, it will change and not be so friendly.

One of the sites I found today was really inventive. So simple, but the execution was perfect. It's a series of portraits of high school seniors that will most likely create images that can span a generation. These pictures will show up in 10 and 20 years for their reunion events. Here they are.
