I tend to refer to my diptychs as a calm and chaos. The two words roll of the tongue well and it is a simple way to describe the idea of the comparison. My plan for shooting is going to be shooting the chaos images first since they will be the hardest to shoot. I am worried about finding things to shoot that will communicate stress. I have different ideas for shooting like have blurred images, and i will need to shoot a lot and have a variety to pick from. Once i am able to get these chaos images shot, i can start shooting the calm images.
I have some expectations of my diptychs, I really want the image to be formally the same, for them to have similar patterns, colors or lines running through them. I feel this is necessary for the images to stand next to each other. It will bring the viewer in because the images will be formally similar but the content matter will be very different.
Tom made some suggestions about the chaos images. He suggested that i should try shooting images where something is about to happen. For instance, I want to experiment with this and shoot an egg dropping onto a table and try to capture to egg starting to break as it hits the table.
The images below are ones i took to my meeting the two of the tunnel are meant to be chaos, I tried to use the motion of driving through the tunnel distort the way it was capture. I like both of these images but i am just not sure if they will work. The other images i have here are my examples of calm, but i also see the problem that they can be perceived in different ways.
I think it have alot to work on. The next week will be very productive!
