I chose to put this poem up here because, whether knowingly or not, the poet pose a very profound and philosophical question. At what point is it that some thing new becomes old; at what point does a pile become a speck? At what point did an old, chipped doorway or a piece of rubbish become just that?

This is a video created by Noah Kalina who took a photograph of himself everyday for six years, and continues doing so to this day. I saw this on Current TV’s countdown for the greatest viral videos and I was astounded at how similar it was to a part of my own project which basically involved me taking a photograph of the bus stop across the street which is the first thing I see every morning as I come out of my gate and leave for school. I was also fortunate enough to begin to take these while there was construction going on there so I was able to more or less document its transformation from crappy bus stop to slightly less crappy bus stop. The difference between Noah’s images and mine is that his camera points at himself, the most obvious way to document yourself, whereas my camera was pointed at the things around me, which I think is a slightly less obvious way to go about it.

British-born Eadweard Muybridge, who emigrated to the United States in the 1850s, is one of the most influential photographers of all time. He pushed the limits of the camera’s possibilities, creating world-famous images of animals and humans in motion. Just as impressive are his vast panoramas of American landscapes, such as the Yosemite valley, and his documentation of the rapidly growing nation, particularly in San Francisco. His dramatic life included extensive travels in North and Central America, a career as a successful lecturer, and the scandal of his trial for the murder of his wife’s lover.

I like this image because of the way the person is out of focus, but their surroundings are in sharp focus. In terms of my investigation it is an interesting image because it is as if there is greater importance given to the background. It could be interpreted as meaning that it is the environment that makes up the person, a statement which fits in well with my psycho-geographical approach. I therefore resolve to take a number of images in this style.

“People talk as if art were something that you did with your eyes and your brain, but it’s not. It’s something that grows out of a ground.”

“I have never allowed myself, in my own hearing, to be called a minimalist. Because minimal art is characterized by nonreferentiality. And that’s not what I am characterized by. [My work] is totally referential. I’ve struggled all my life to get maximum meaning in the simplest possible form.”
