artist statement
I live about ten to fifteen minutes away from the Johnson Park area. I drive past it going downtown. It wasn't until I took this class that I began to learn about the history of Johnson Park. I thought it was interesting how it once was a downtown like community. I've noticed in the past year the renovation of the neighborhood. However I never hand entered the neighborhood. Until I meet with Tony and he drove us around. I saw such beautiful houses and a changed and growing community. I had a stigma about the community, I thought that it was still how it was eight years ago. However the trip there changed my mindset about Johnson Park area . I saw the changes and by hearing the stories that Tony was telling us about the neighbors and how there untied and how many people in the community truly wants to better the community. With my camera, I took pictures of my experience, and I was looking at the neighborhood thru new eyes thru my camera lens.

Final Media Project
I would like work with the Johnson Park Alliance, I would like to interview those in charge the program and have them discuss the mission of the program and the progress that they've made.
Perhaps interview those who are participating in the program and see how its affected there live
Or maybe spend the day with them during one of there events.
It would be a combination of interview and photos from the interviews and location

Another project I was interested in is to create a video based on the program what can be done about litter
I was thinking that I could document litter in the neighborhood and see what they think about it
and how they think its affects the community and what other outside of the community think about it
