Keeping in mind my photos taken at the campgrounds where I spent my childhood, I brought my camera along as I went camping with some friends this past weekend. I wanted to explore taking night shots without a tri-pod and see what I could come up with.
I find the photos I shot to hold a different sort of feeling than the photos I took during the last semester. Rather than reliving memories, I was creating them. During our nights around the fire or late-night walks, I brought my camera along.
The following are a few of the photos I took. I feel that, maybe photo 2 and 3 could be placed together, but also liked the way the architecture in the first photo came out. I'm hoping to continue shooting in a similar manner, but was wondering if anyone had any feedback?
Miss you all and hope your summers are going well!

Eerie. freaky. Blair witch project.
Hah, I'm just kidding, but I'd be lying if I said these photos didn't evoke some sort of "I really want to be inside in a safe place right now" feeling. The light from the parking lot in these is very mysterious, and the fuzziness in the photos may contribute to your feeling of deteriorating memories of this place, which may be why you're searching to create new ones. I'd be interested to see what happens when you introduce people into these hazy neon lighting situations. Glad to see you are posting! We miss you too!
Haha I can totally see the "Blair Witch Project" aspect! LOL I definitely agree that the fuzziness contributes to "that old memory feel" and I've been working on some similar shots and I like your suggestion of adding people into the shots. I'll post more soon!
