THE FASHIONABLE ABSTRACT #1 - "Westcoastrian State of Mind" by:...emcgee...

This is segment that we'll introduce to our fellow civilians simply to bring everyone closer to our frame-of-minds, creative outlook on life, or simply, just to allow all of our supporters the opportunity of becoming more familiar w/the young men on the other side of the laptops. Legendary photographers, lol- or soon to be -EMohn and ...emcgee... will offer brief explanations of our abstract photography. Of course, we'll post pictures of fashion shoots, our Homecoming photos and other things that might not require explanation; however, to get a complete understanding of our perspective for art, the Fashionable Abstract is necessary.. lol..

The Chuck Taylor- a vital piece of our fashionable West Coast Culture, has often been viewed from a negative perspective; however, in this photo my goal was to depict the Chuck Taylor in another light. Usually worn in red or blue, these shoes can say a lot about a person's affiliations but in fading everything to black and white i wanted to stray away from those negative assumptions. Through the positioning of my feet and the three gum stains on the concrete I was able to form a diamond. (long lasting)Symbolizing (1st) the strength in unity, the diamond also highlights the very thing that perpetuates many of the thoughtless acts of violence within the communities of the West Coast. "Gratification". This isn't a problem that can't be resolved, and since the grass isn't greener on the other side (hence the crazy colored grass) the civilians of the West Coast will eventually have to unite in working out all problems to solidify a much more positive tomorrow for the coming generations. When everything fades to "Black", despite social status, affiliation or opinion.. We'll only be left with ourselves to make things better.
But I Love My City... lol      [Shout to Compton]
