The reason for including Harry Callahan's work of architecture and street photography is because he has the same simple aesthetic of the normal view of houses on the street. I particularly like the last image of the orangey building, I think it looks similar to Lewis Baltz, industrial parks with a very simple plain feel. Photographing houses and streets like that has made me realise that the simple shot of the man altered landscape can be this simple, a document, of something new, and in a different way. I personally know that, I could photograph some of the new housing estates that have been put up around my area at home, they are so different to the norm of whats already there, proof of a changing world around us.
I wouldn't mind trying to convey the changing world within my small series, I know i want to photograph the same but different to show how many of us can be given a personality just on the basis of how we each live. People are too quite to judge these days but because of this, the viewer sees more from an image than we think. I have a couple of ideas of taking images of my road that I live on. but i will re visit these again soon.
