Today for me was a pretty amazing day. My family had a small gathering for Pho, and after feasting with the family my uncle decides to pull out an accordion box. Inside was a projecter, and 4 carousels of 35mm slides. what was on these slides blew my mind....
The slides held images of Vietnam during the war. Views of an American G.I. roaming the cities and country side.
Maybe I'll put some time together to talk to him....we could possibly put a book together.
(1) First of all, I am not a photographer. This is a hobby I choose to pursue on the side due to my interest in design. ( I like to see it as Documentation)
(2) Where my interest lay are in the details of the moments surrounding our lives. I love to document these moments or in some cases recreate them.
(3) I dislike thinking about the big picture, It feels a bit to static for me, I prefer to compile a set of images that overall grow into an idea. At least then I have better control over the feel and message the images convey to the viewer.
Received my Bachelors of Science in Architecture at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee. After undergrad I worked for Marc Fornes focusing on managing complex geometries and building installations in France. Now I live in Los Angeles where I attend the University of California Los Angeles and plan to graduate in 2014.
