spot and shoot...whatt now????

many thanks to those who have uploaded images

as we build up a bank of images 2 questions seem to arise
1/ how do we give them meaning , place them in a context that deals with an artists response to their environment
2/ is the assemblage or collated images as a collective image bank enough of a response....perhaps what we are doing is using simple photography to identify aspects of composition that have been learnt or instilled in us over time...what else can we do?
I suggest that several methods might be employed to make final images for this section of the course...
a/ giving titles to images places them in a context
b/ altering or photoshopping images alters our reltionship as original raw data
c/ writing about them or overlaying with text can give meaning to them
I now want you to try to contextualise your photographs 9remember you should have about 10 a week to work with in the first 2 weeks and by the last week i would like to see how we can resolve this process.
Perhaps you will set photos up rather spot the image and shoot it. Perhaps you will construct the images.....
