Project 3 is to pick a photographer to emulate. I have picked William Christenberry who was mainly a sculptor and painter in the Abstract Expressionism movement. Christenberry began taking photographs in Alabama around Hale County where Walker Evans took documentary style photographs. When Christenberry met Evans, Evans encouraged him to continue taking photos of the area around where he grew up in Alabama. Christenberry's photographs consist of old signs and the progression of dilapidation of old buildings and homes over the span of multiple annual pictures.
