To be honest not much to be seen at Ground Zero. We all know what happened. Now it just looks like a normal construction site. I walked around it a bit but as i said its really just foundations and the start of a new building.

Hopefully you aren't getting tired of this building as I know i'm not. It seems to look different in every photo.

Taken with the Holga 120 film. Originally colour film but i took out what little saturation there was. The film I'm shooting is very much expired but it was free. Also, if it continues to yield such photos might as well keep with it!

Double exposure, taking the shot with the camera upright, then again with it upside down trying to line it up. This is -not- photoshopped! It's a classic photographic technique. [well ok..taking out the saturation was photoshop but that isnt anything amazing either.]

This is probably the most challenging edit i've done to date. It wasnt the quality or quantity of photos i had to work with, it was capturing mood. Trying to express how someone else feels about nature, someone you barely know and going on a couple things they said in a short interview was very very challenging for me. There is an install with this photo but in that photo you cant see this properly so to give full spectrum i've included this for better viewing.
My intention was to show how Stacey feels in nature. this was the assignment and thankfully i pulled it off in the last bit of time i had to complete this project. She told me she feels very at home in nature. She likes going for walks, camping and just being within that element.

double exposure of some buildings near the legislature building in Edmonton.
ps. this is from my first roll so its not very mind blowing.

"Currently in the US there are 26 699 678 square feet of empty walmarts. Enough room to build 29 666 classrooms and educate 593 326 kids."
WalMart - The High Cost of Low Prices.

i personally boycott this company because i do not agree with its operation standards. Using sweatshops and exploiting workers is only the tip of the iceberg.

This empty walmart is in my city. it is vacant because a walmart supercentre was built 2 driving minutes away from this site. The supercentre opened November 7th 2007. It is MENTAL in size as its everything in one. Groceries, home decor, gift and garden, fabric...anything you would ever need is there which disturbs me greatly.

Wikipedia claims that this building is now a T&T supermarket. Obviously it isn't as i took these photos on September 21st 2008.

UPDATE: As of summer 2009 this location has FINALLY started to become something else. I believe it is two stores as it looks like there are two entrances. What the two stores are I don't know yet. I will update again once construction makes things more clear.

For fellow Canadians i saw another documentary in store called "Wal-Town" I'm assuming its the same type of thing that "High Cost of Low Prices" talks about but in Canada instead of America. For those who have not seen this film, i recommend it. It's on the internet, google it, watch it and think about it.
