For this project I chose 'my' parking spot on WC. This picture has dual meaning as I park in the exact same spot nearly everyday and between work and leisure activities I spend a large amount of time in the truck; referred to as my second home. I attempted to interact with the truck and parking lot through a close up of the truck's point of view and the tree I park in front of, a close up of the boundaries that are the white lines in the lot and my silent rebellion against conformity as I am parked on the lines on the other side of the spot, and a far away image as I was standing in the bus stop hut with all the other cars blurred out. Lastly, the background is the asphalt zoomed in so I as to highlight the grain, texture, and randomness of the material that we all seem to overlook. I want the viewer to see the parking lot differently, it isn't just the purpose-driven section of earth where we've leveled the trees and ruined the environment. The parking lot is a second home for our vehicles, an extension and part of ourselves so to speak as we depend on them for transportation, work, and play. From a humorous perspective, maybe even think about parking your cars near the fresh grass, the flower pots, or the trees; I wouldn't want to sit in a scorching parking lot all day and stare up another car's bumper... would you?
