Even brainstorming for this assignment caused me to pay more attention to my surroundings. I noticed my own repetitive actions such as constantly checking my mailbox, watching my shadow while walking, thinking about certain activities or people.
Several ideas came from this:
-Keeping track of how my shadow changes while walking to and from Arts West throughout the day
-How the movement of the sun throughout the day (maybe every hour) effects where people sit/stand/flock to...take photographs of a certain spot every hour
-Sit in one spot for an hour and count how many people I see checking their phones
Drawing is my favorite medium so I'd like to incorporate that in addition to photography.
first assignment could be really interesting as drawings... second too, in terms of drawing a kind of map...third idea sounds strongest to me, because of the larger cultural/social issues that emerge; this would inspire rich conversation. the question is how to best represent the data? glad you have been paying more attention! wait until the end of the class! :)
