CRAFT: In order to create this photo I used my digital camera. I held the camera straight and made sure the artwork was in the center of my shot. I did not use a flash for this photo because I made sure to take photos in daylight in order to get a more clear shot.
CONCEPT: The concept of this photo was to integrate the artistic side of Bronzeville and the "normal Chicago town" into one shot to show the area's diverse elements. I wanted to stress that even though the town may have some unique style and artwork, there are people living within this area that may simply view it as "home". I wanted to give viewers the impression of looking from the outside into the town.
COMPOSITION: In order to bring to life the idea I had for this photo I made sure to pick a spot in the artwork that appeared almost like a hole; or an eye that someone would look through in order to see the town. The fact that you are looking through the artwork into the town that is farther away shows that among all of this artwork are the homes and lives of the people in Bronzeville. I also made sure to leave some of the tunnel in the photograph (where the artwork was located), so it was clear that I really was on the outside looking in at this point.
