When I wrote my proposal earlier this semester, I chose to work on isolation and obscurity, but directed it in three areas: isolation of communities, urban renewal and portraiture. Now that we are a little more than halfway through the semester, I feel that I was a bit too ambitious in that proposal and would like to narrow my focus a bit.
My overall body of work this semester supports the "isolation of communities" and "urban renewal" parts of my proposal. However, I have not pursued portraiture so far this semester and feel that making a concerted effort to do so outside of the context of urban renewal and community isolation would dilute the overall message I am trying to convey.
I would like to continue to focus on the mechanisms which isolate and break down a sense of community and how "urban renewal" speeds up that process. The images will consist largely of urban landscapes, though the occasional picture of a human being in that urban environment may also appear. I feel I can increase the power of my message by presenting my work as multiple sets of two related images.

Good subject that you are submitting for your proposal. I believe that many people overlook the fact that urban redevelopment not directed at the less forunate is no different that the settlers coming in and moving out the american indian.
