Envisioning Somerset Photo Series 2
Questions:
1. I documented the very old tombstones from cemeteries. Also the houses on Main St. that the "founders" of Somerset built and lived in.
2. I photographed the places that accessed the water/docks.
3. Documented through old gravestones and old piers how long Somerset has been around.
4. In the photos of the tombstones, I took them at a low point of view and converted them to black and white in order to show the change in time and the age of Somerset.

Photo Series 3
Questions:
I photographed the areas of Somerset that accessed the water, like the docks where ships would make there stops. My photos show the way Somerset has changed over the years. I sequenced my photos so that the color and black&white pictures were alternating. For the first photo, i only changed the levels in certain areas so that they were more defined. I believe the future of Somerset will still be rich in history but will continue to modernize.

Reflections:
The theme of my photo series is the calm before the storm. Each photo has a spooky overlay to them. The edits that were made give the photos a look that something is coming. Every photo has a different texture that brings a more mysterious feeling. The picture of the dock is my favorite in the series i made. I took a paint texture and put that over to give the photo and darker look. I lowered the brightness in order to keep with the theme. I chose this photo because i think the reflection off the water really made the picture. The contrast between black and white in this photo only goes from grey to black, there really arent any light colors to go against my theme.
