The One Percent

I thought I’d share my visualization of what the famed One Percent of the US population looks like, so here it is: The One Percent.

Self-portraits

A couple of experiments:

Mostly done for a chuckle at my own expense. Then again, the black-and-white tonal-reverse drop-out thing has been with me for a while. Kinda goes with these.

Behind the Facade, formal studies

Simon — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 04:50:18 +0000

Here’s an attempt to distill some of the formal qualities of the alley photos – unlike the first try, this one done manually. I like this better, but I’m not sure if it has the punch of the high-contrast dropout images. Once again, if you have anything approaching an opinion on these, don’t hesitate to share.

Edit 9/14/11:

Here’s an idea that I think begins to better describe the formal qualities of the alley environment (in a funny way it’s beginning to look like my old multiple exposure street photography – something to think about). I simply overlaid all five of the above drawings and rotated the result to keep anything from being too obviously the “main” image:

Regenstein Library at the University of Chicago by Walter Netsch

Not as hard-core as the UIC buildings I’ve covered in the past (also here, here and here), the Regenstein Library’s main architectural moves are the concrete elevation and the two staircases – the main one serving all floors and another serving the second and third floor reading rooms. Unusually for Netsch, the building sports quite a few windows, though considering the depth of the plan, they’re not exactly a dominant feature.

I want to thank the library staff for allowing me to peek in without undue bureaucratic obstacles (it is generally a limited-access facility).

Diagramming creativity

This was done for a Fresh Meat journal competition. Needless to say, it didn’t float with the editorial board. I thought I’d share it anyway.
