The Decisive Moment

Should we find the scene and wait for the decisive moment like Henri Cartier-Bresson?

What goes in, must come out.


Unreal...

Manipulation, anyone can do it!



Manipulated Photos


Among these photos are the National Geographic cover with the pyramids of Giza talked about in the article:

Check the facts...

Supposedly this photo was submitted into some sort of competition a few years back but was thought to be a little too good to be true...
As it turns out, it was, as most things are. The photo was really a compilation of two different images

Oscar Rejlander (This may have something to do with the Kember reading)

From wikipedia: In 1857 he made his best-known allegorical work, The Two Ways of Life. This was a seamlessly montaged combination print made of thirty-two images (akin to the use of Photoshop today, but then far more difficult to achieve) in about six weeks.

Ludmilla Jordanova


I believe this is the image briefly discussed by Ludmilla Jordanova. Nature, depicted as a woman, is unveiled before Science

Images relating to, but not actually in the reading.

My Map Idea - Mouse Mapping

My project shifted from actual ink to virtual ink… instead of mapping the random movements of my hand on a series of bus rides, I decided to expedite the process of random line-generation by shifting my parameters. These drawings are executed using the following conditions:

1. Drawing done with pen tool (2px) in PS.
2. Duration is as long as I can hold the mouse down.
3. Title of each drawing is born of words “in the air” when drawing was made.
4. All drawings must be done during one hour of class time.
5. I must not spin my wheels.

Each individual drawing represents an indexical relationship between my hand and the mouse. As a whole, the series of drawings reflect a more abstract (and subjective) map: that of my predilection for words, especially as markers, or summations of a particular duration, while offering insight into (what I view as) the tedium of computer image manipulation.
