In this project I wanted to show a different perspective on how we look at buildings and their structures. Ivy leaves have always been something that seem to look aesthetically beautiful to me. They carry with them tradition, longevity, and uniqueness. Even though ivy leaves can pose a threat to the infrastructure of a building, they essentially make the building what it is. It is interesting to look at how they grow in different forms across the layout of a building. Here at the University of Rochester we see a number of academic buildings with ivy leaves growing alongside windows and hidden corners of a building. I plan on continuing this project with shots of that show a close up at the details within the leaves itself, and shots that shows the whole building covered with it. In addition, I will continue to work in the dark room so that I can learn how to get my blackest blacks, my whitest whites, and everything in between to come through while developing these prints.
