incorporate both indoor and outdoor street photography during the day and night to photograph locations that have become iconic in Santa Ana. These locations will vary from places of worship, parks, stores, restaurants, cultural based places of gathering, artist/ musician/ culinary districts (i.e. Downtown Santa Ana). I will document the current socioeconomic state of the city. I feel that once the project is advancing, it will open other aspects of the city that will be documented/ photographed. We live in a time where life and our environment is advancing and transforming at a accelerated rate and I will create a "time- capsule" in the form of photography of the modern /present time (2016 -2017) that we are living in Santa Ana. The final presentation of the proposed social documentary will be presented at the Bowers Museum /John M. Lee Court wing, which has already agreed to be the host of the project with the support of Emily Mahon the Senior Director of Education of Bowers Museum (contact information is in the Letter of Support). The final presentation will include a lecture and slideshow/ video of the experience in documenting and photographing Santa Ana, as well as musical performances of select local artists. The Social Documentary will be a Celebration of Santa Ana located at Bowers Museum.
