Summary: 

​

For this project I had a couple ideas about what human evidence was.  I played with a few ideas before settling on graffiti.  I first shot tracks in the snow, however, I did not like how you could barely see the tracks. The snow made the picture overall too white making the picture very boring. Graffiti is a great representation of human evidence. Graffiti is interesting because its art that people have created freely and a representation of how creative humans can be.  I wanted to shoot graffiti, not only cause it shows that humans were once there, but the creative marks that they created for others to enjoy.  I wanted to show the creative impact that the murals have on the Rino District and how they have uplifted and created a welcoming place for others to walk around the area and enjoy the art. In these photos I wanted to capture the beauty that people have left behind.  I tried to capture the entire mural in some and in other photos I was able to compose the photo where majority of the mural was in the photograph or what I thought was the most important part of the mural.  Color was a major contributor to choosing which mural I wanted to photograph.  Some of the murals are darker than others and as a series I wanted to have both vibrant and darker photos to show the emotion behind each artists creation.
