So for this upcoming exhibit, the theme is Before & After. With my uncreative mind (ironic for a wannabe photographer, I know) I have come up with the following interpretation for my photos:
Having moved too many times to count in the past 10 years or so, I have always been fascinated with the objects/belongings I've brought with me to each new place, why I chose certain things to keep with me, what significance they have to me, and where they end up in my new abode. I find there is always a discomfort in trying to find each object a new place in its new home, since it was originally for another home, but now has to find a spot in the new one. Often time each object takes on a new meaning from "before" (the previous home) to "after" (the new home).
I'm thinking that other people experience this sort of transition from an old home to a new one. So I photographed objects in my new place and where they have a new home, and how it fits (unwell sometimes, which is why the lighting is sometimes harsh and the colors are desaturated) in its new place. The montage above are my options, thus far. And I think it will be all of my options because I'm running out of time! Yes, I've procrastinated, as usual. Any thoughts on which to choose? I'm editing it down to 3...
Discuss.

i'll choose the one of your stove, the one with the perry st. photo and the one with your books or the chocolate poster! does are my favorites!
I like how they all have the same light tone! how big are they gonna be printed?
Definitely spice rack and fridge. I can explain reasoning if you want!
I vote crazy triangle bookshelf and spices. But those two photos are a little similar ... but they're my favorites. Especially the books. Be careful when walking near that shelf -- it looks dangerous.
