For this project I want to explore how technology has penetrated almost all areas of life, and how this technology 'paints' us. To do this I am going to take minimal photographs where the sole source of light is the technology the person is using: for instance cellphones,ipods, computers and laptops.
At this point am I am not sure if the photographs will be close ups taken within a darkroom to create a sense of intimacy with an anonymous individual, or to photograph the technology using person from far away in a natural setting so that we get a glimpse of the surroundings, showing how absorbed the person is in the technology and oblivious to the natural beauty around him. Plus it would be odd to see someone sitting in a field using a laptop in the dark =)
Cellphone: Person looking away from camera cellphone to ear.
Ipod: Someone grooving with earbuds in + ipod in hand.
Laptop: Crosslegged on ground typing.
Not sure what fourth image should be at this point.
Terrace Fire
I happened to be scootering home soon after this fire was started so went over to victoria hill to get a city wide shot with the smoke, turns out some professional dude was their with a massive telefocal lens, the thing was as long as my arm, so took a photo of him taking a photo. Thought that had a kind of meta fit to the idea of this project.
