I really don’t know where to start with this brief, it seems to normal to just take pictures of rubbish found on the street, so a quick google search always helps me visualise what I could possibly do for this brief, I came across an article on The Guardian website (http://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/camera-club-blog/2012/mar/02/photography)
This article reflects on images sent in by the public on a certain brief for the month, this was really interesting as it showcases really interesting concepts and really sparked my creative flow.
I found this image particularly interesting as it was taken with a blackberry phone, which points out that you don’t need a crazy good camera system to take decent images, just an eye for photography. the image of the chair on the beach this reminded me of an image I shot last April back home for a college brief.
This image I took back home has the sofa cushion in the corner which is bad for the river and wildlife, I instantly made the connection between this image and the one above. Also thinking of the brief.
“I am always looking for interesting objects in odd places, I suppose it comes from being a photographer cooped-up in an office five days a week!” ( http://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/camera-club-blog/2012/mar/02/photography )
I feel the start if this quote really reflects what this brief is really about, finding something interesting in the ordinary and taking the context. ∞
