I think for the next assignment Donna and I should shoot the same subject - maybe at the same time, maybe on our own excursion. It will be interesting to appreciate how we see and photograph the same space. Photography is an easy product of who you are as a person, and from that, moreso a product of what has informed on the who and how of you. I love listening to people talk about their images; images I love, images I don't understand, and images I don't particularly care for. And that is my favourite part of doing these assignments, talking about the images - what worked, what didn't, what you learned... From this last assignment I learned that I often don't look for really ornate detailing, the tiny elements. The result of this is that I found it difficult to identify and shoot the narrative in these finer details. Interesting.
When Donna gets back from The Homeland, I think we will fast track this assignment. On that note, I cannot wait to see what Donna brings back, photographically, from her trip. I have a feeling it will be a great amount of feeling the landscape while she is out in the wet.

this is beautiful, Paula. you would know it was the same area. Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI like that idea of shooting the same subject!
