HOWL HERITAGE

“In Your Backyard” is the visual exploration of how people deal with problems that arise in their life through the use of still life and landscape photography. This neighborhood is perfect on the surface, while right in the backyard they have this overrun forest filled with debris and litter. There are those of us that sweep things under the rug…everything is OK on the surface of day to day life; yet, underneath the surface there is a growing pile of problems slowly accumulating. My hope was that through this series viewers can reflect on themselves and think about what type of things they’re allowing to reside in their space.

Eyes can really say a lot about a person. In my “One Day” series I focus on the eyes to show the lies this girl is holding deep inside- something out of this world. These images are documenting her life as she mimics the things that any other normal person does. She covers her face in makeup just like a normal teenager, but it’s for completely different reasons…

To have your “Head in the Clouds” is to take reality apart, and then put it back together in whichever way you want…basically, turning it into a dream. I realized that a dream wasn’t something that could just simply be photographed. Instead, I needed to find a way to blur the line between reality and imaginations. I want the audience to get lost in each photo, to feel as if they are there, suspended, holding their breath as time slows down around them; to allow themselves to take a moment and put their own head in the clouds.

Jack Burkman, Vancouver City Council member, has presented us with the opporturtunity to showcase high school digital photography students’ work at the new Vancouver City Hall. The purpose is to capture individual students’ positive and creative vision on the theme of “My Vancouver.”

The intent is to create an installation of Evergreen students’ work in the foyer of the new city hall, tentatively from June 1 through the summer. The opening day and reception coincide with the June First Friday arts event. Individual student works may be chosen for permanent exhibition in public spaces, published in Vancouver tourism materials, and/or receive public recognition by city officials.

HHS STEPPED UP! Here are some images from Emmert’s classes:
