The (Urban) Decay of Nampa
Last week, my photography class traveled to Boise to compete in a photography competition through SkillsUSA Idaho in Boise, Idaho. Our class competed in two different competitions, Photography, and Promotional Bulletin Board. Later, I’ll post the whole bulletin board project as I am finally done with it and I presented it successfully (1st place FTW).
Anyway, for the photography competition, we were bussed to Columbia High School in Nampa, Idaho to begin the competition. After we picked up some more students, we all went to Downtown Nampa for the shooting portion. We were assigned to shoot the Urban Decay of Nampa.
Below are the shots I chose and edited for the competition.
I ended up using the alley way shot a book cover project for the book Nineteen Eighty-Four.
Unfortunately, I do not have the originals for all of them, just the ones I edited, because the judges kind of stole our cards. So below I posted a contact sheet with the originals. Finally, the inspiration of this post was completely the judge, as he set the requirement for it to be urban decay, so I can’t really post an inspiration link this week.

The picture thats black and white looking down an ally way is pretty cool. It almost has that creepy feeling about it which is awesome. The only picture I didn’t really like is the one with the guy in it because when I think of urban decay, I don’t really think of people.

I really liked the urban decay photos, I liked the lighting and the angles of the photos.
