Final Project Proposal

For my final project I am going to continue down a similar path as project three. For my final I am going to take a different approach and consider locations in Milwaukee that are more hidden, secret, or have some personal significance. Using the idea of geocaching (www.geocaching.com) and the concept of a treasure hunt and searching for hidden things or locations as inspiration, I am going to go to a variety of locations (10+) and shoot using my fixed 50mm lens. I will focus on taking close up shots showing detail and texture, this will be done easier with my fixed 50mm lens because it reaches f1.8 giving me a much shallower depth of field. I will shoot close ups rather than vast landscapes to keep the location more unknown and attempt to create visual interest and hopefully interest in the location its self. I am going to display these images in a set of three images or triptych for each location. Each image's title will be its gps coordinates. This will allow someone to be able to find the location if they really wish to put in the extra effort.
