Untitled Experiment, Contact Sheets, Photography, A Selbe, fall 2009.
SO I cannot believe that it is october today. I had a meeting with Jeff today and he really threw me for a loop. I'm going to write through my thoughts here before I write on the class blog so I do not confuse everyone with my thoughts. Anyways, I had a set plan for going about making these diptych images, I am at the point where I am gathering potential images for them and I am going to draw on top of them for practice. I want to turn the image from chaos to calm, or form calm to chaos by drawing on them. I am doing this to help me figure out what to pair the images with, but I think it really has the potential to be really interesting.
But I was thrown for a loop when Jeff was more interested in my contact sheets than anything else. We ended up spreading out the images on the table and looking at the crazy pattern it made. Above the images are just a small example of what we have laid out on the table. We discussed the formal aspects of composition that were strong in this unknown piece. It become a story line, music notes on a page. It is the struggle for the perfect image. It is the process of shooting for the most simple stock image. I know that if i pursue this idea it needs to be totally clear and it needs to have intent for every aspect of it. I think this kind of approach to my idea of calm and chaos really shows what i was trying to show through my diptychs. I am going to continue on both paths until i figure out what will work or if i can incorporate them both together somehow.
So i have few new artists to check out that jeff gave me, and i am going to shoot a new sequence set and i am going to draw and sketch on the images that i already have. Another busy week ahead!
