"The day starts with a clean"
Here is the beginning of my blog where i start my adventure into looking at "The everyday" through photography. For this assignment i am going to try and show a range of photographs that each capture and explore the concept of the everyday. I really want to push and develop a range of skills from this assignment and explore into a range of genre's , such as street photography, portraiture, landscape, still life ect , that will help me build an experience and knowledge of these topics.
I will use skills that i learnt from semester one in this assignment to show that i have an understanding of techniques and theories that may help me with the practice of photographing the everyday.
I hope to explore new ideas with this project and be confident with what i produce as my everyday life should not be ignored due to the worry of the photographs being Dull and current as i am seeing these things everyday.
Georges Perec, says "The banal, the quotidian, the obvious, the common, the ordinary [...] how are we to speak of these common things, how to track them down, how to flush them out, wrest them from the dross in which they are mired, how to give them meaning, a tongue, to let them, finally, speak of what it is, who we are" taken from Species of space, 1974
This is my main aim in this blog to record my life in a way that "speaks out" even if the photographs show "the common, the ordinary".
