Assignment #2

Student- East Lansing, Mi
This is a portrait recreation for assignment #2 in my Color Photography class. It is a recreation of photographer Mark Menjivar. He did a series called "You are what you Eat". He went around the country taking photos of what was inside different peoples fridges. I work at a shoe store and I find it particularly interesting what shoes people wear and what kind of people shoes people buy and how this might describe them. I think it is fasinating how the things that we obtain in the consumer society that we live in can describe a lot about us. You can view Mark Menjivar series at http://markmenjivar.com/.
I hope to be able to continue these shoe photographs and make a series.
