Off Campus Air

Off Campus Air captures what it feels like to step beyond the rhythm of campus and into something quieter, and softer. My goal for each photo to capture small often overlooked moments such as flowers on the side of a sidewalk, Little Libraries, reflections in cafe windows, and sidewalk chalk art. There are things that I feel offer a sense of calm you don’t always find on campus. Together, these images reflect how leaving campus, even briefly, can feel like a breath of fresh air, a little bit like an escape that can be grounding and have snippets of a comforting feeling.

    There is a good blend of long, medium, and close-up shots captured in your slideshow. The second photo fills the frame, and the close-up shot allows the vibrant purple in the flowers to pop. The wide Green Giraffe Bar photo has great lines in the roof and the sidewalk. The angle is enhanced by the tree going against the grain. Great idea with the photo that is reflective. Seeing three students enjoying themselves at the table while the world moves by quickly is captured with the car and the blur effect in the window. Very creative and an amazing photo! Unique concept and perspective of DU campus life that plays out well in your photos.
