I decided to approach it from two different perspectives- how do we preserve areas we want...and how do we change those we don't. Here we have The Battle of Northpoint and modern day Ft. Howard now a national park- a preserved piece of history. I built a narrative with the imagery of past meets present.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/13896255@N02/3961797914/" title="urbanblight by crisanto0910, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3477/3961797914_8fa0c26db3.jpg" width="385" height="500" alt="urbanblight" /></a><br /><br />This piece deals with the process of gentrification/urban blight. I felt the best way to approach this subject was by doing a piece that was about the emotional response that I have to the words associated with that process.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/13896255@N02/4100846555/" title="bonami2sm by crisanto0910, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2771/4100846555_ba55b79c19.jpg" width="414" height="500" alt="bonami2sm" /></a><br /><br />A piece about stoop cleaning<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/13896255@N02/4010642033/" title="famouswomen2 by crisanto0910, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2672/4010642033_6195110ae0.jpg" width="355" height="500" alt="famouswomen2" /></a><br /><br />A portrait of some famous women from Baltimore: Billie Holiday, Anna Farris, Mildred Dunnock, Jada Pinkett Smith, Parker Posey, DJ K-Swift, and Nancy Pelosi- I exaggerated their features a little to create a kind of caricature<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/13896255@N02/4032416179/" title="bethlehem steel by crisanto0910, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2675/4032416179_d75b67c40d.jpg" width="500" height="396" alt="bethlehem steel" /></a><br /><br />This piece is about Bethlehem Steel- a still mill which at it's peak employed about 35,000 Baltimoreans. They mill is now under new management and employs less than 8,000. My great uncle is a former employee- and there are very few people I know/knew growing up who didn't have a relative working at the mill.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/13896255@N02/4100842405/" title=" chesbay3sm by crisanto0910, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2422/4100842405_d73356fc6d.jpg" width="324" height="500" alt=" chesbay3sm" /></a><br />This piece is a comment on the Chesapeake Bay and what our relationship is with it.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/13896255@N02/4100868301/" title="pigicon by crisanto0910, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2783/4100868301_73ec3ccb4c.jpg" width="400" height="400" alt="pigicon" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/13896255@N02/4101623768/" title="hampdenicon by crisanto0910, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2571/4101623768_5431a8c1d3.jpg" width="400" height="400" alt="hampdenicon" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/13896255@N02/4100868023/" title="fellsicon by crisanto0910, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2705/4100868023_cc57cedb33.jpg" width="400" height="356" alt="fellsicon" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/13896255@N02/4171873680/" title="greek by crisanto0910, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2500/4171873680_0879aaa462.jpg" width="400" height="400" alt="greek" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/13896255@N02/4171873790/" title="lil_italy by crisanto0910, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2723/4171873790_97583a37aa.jpg" width="400" height="400" alt="lil_italy" /></a><br />A couple of pieces about our Baltimore neighborhoods.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/13896255@N02/4173928827/" title="schaffer_final3sm by crisanto0910, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2515/4173928827_749c791f22.jpg" width="524" height="750" alt="schaffer_final3sm" /></a><br /><br />Tentative last piece for the semester- about William Donald Schaffer and the Inner Harbor<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6445389104419245238-7051969059330005364?l=crisantocimatu.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Crisanto Cimatuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09755595792366731520noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6445389104419245238.post-28029686574031128672009-11-30T14:07:00.001-08:002010-05-06T13:27:28.164-07:00So there's the senior show hanging up right now in Brown Center.
