Monroe Park is large and has a huge canopy. It is a centralized location where students interact with the park as well as homeless people and who ever else is passing through. The park is home to some, a shortcut to others, a place for recreation or a place to escape. The gigantic trees that tower over this space are impossible to avoid and there are fountains and statues scattered throughout. I wanted to capture and document the interaction of people who call this space their home. I also wanted to document those that are interacting with the park in any way with an emphasis on canopy and covering and habitat for those who live there. While shooting i came across a man yelling at me from severl yards away to put my camera down. Two mormons came up to me as well and began to talk to me and i was able to capture typical events in the park and a good amount of shots that was a view into what happens eveyday there. My experience shooting is almost the documentation of what i was trying to capture in my photos.
