For my final set I wanted to incorporate what I believed to be my most successful pictures that depicted Meyerowtiz work. I wanted to focus both on his landscapes and seascapes from his Cape Cod set, as well as his street photography. My first five pictures are ment to depict his Cape Cod style photos. In his set, he shoots a lot of beautiful land and seascapes as well as rustic and simplistic architecture. His Cape Cod photographs are very nonchalant and vintage feeling and that is what I wanted to portray in my set. His street photography is quite the opposite and is much more chaotic and busy. I chose these two photographs as my street photos because I think they represented the mayhem of city life, and each, depicted a story.

In my third set I tried to incorporate Meyerowitz street photography as well as his Cape Cod style photos. Meyerowitz shot most of his street photography on the streets of New York city and used bright vibrant colors, and unusual scenes to depict his stories. I tried to mimic this style, but found it difficult to shoot people, which held me back a lot in my street photography. Because of my struggle with street photography I focused more on depicting his Cape Cod set. Once again, I tried to capture rustic, pastel colored, and airy feeling subjects, primarily homes. My favorite shot that I got was the black door against the blue house which had a "beware of dog" sign on it. I think it mimicked Meyerowitz Cape Cod shots very well and I liked the rustic feel of the door.

In my second set of my Joel Meyerowtiz series I continued to replicate his Cape Cod style photos but also expanded on his street photography as well. Continuing one with his Cape Cod photos, my goal was to find simplistic and rustic places to shoot in. I particularly liked the pastel colors of the houses that I shot and I thought it replicated many of the buildings that Meyerowitz uses in his Cape Cod photos. For my street photography, I tried to capture the chaos and humor of city life. I found that with my street photography I had to simply wait for a moment to occur that I could capture, which was a much more difficult and lengthy process. In my third series I hope to focus more on my street photography.

I really enjoyed this assignment. I tried to incorporate short and easy stories to understand. I used a variety of different stories and scenes in my photos to create a unique set of collages. In my second collage I used motion in three frames to capture the different stages of falling. In my first and third collages I tried to create a story that was clear and understandable.

In this set of photos, my assignment was to incorporate small figures into lively and real situations. This was an especially difficult assignment for me, and one that used a great deal of creativity. I tried to use a variety of settings for my pictures, using backgrounds of books and posters, as well as real life settings.

In this weeks assignment we were supposed to incorporate motion into our photographs. This was not particularly my favorite assignment. I especially like to capture detail and depth into my photos and with this assignment it was hard to do that. Although, I did find it interesting playing around with color in this assignment and watching the different colors jump out of the photograph, depicting somewhat of a 3D like style.
