Duane Michals Style Sequences

Duane Michals is an inspiring photographer, native to pittsburgh, who shoots in sequences. He is mostly self-taught and has been shooting photography since 1958. Our assignment was to shoot sequences in the style of Duane Michals so I did two separate shoots. Click here to check out some of his work before you look at mine. He has an extremely unique shooting style and they are often politically and religiously motivated.

My first sequence is of consuming pizza, first attempting to eat it with dignity, and then breaking down and eating it like every other American.

The next is of a commute. It demonstrates how time-aware, impatient, and transportation-relient we are as a society. I wanted to get some better pictures but after the trolley driver yelled at me I decided to leave before the police were called seeing how it is considered a homeland security threat to take pictures of public transportation.
