Week 1
Ideation
The theme I’ve chosen for the Unit 3 Photography Project is Return to Water. As soon as I read the description and saw other people’s work I thought of sink/shower/bathroom water and where it might end up. I am thinking of taking pictures inside of my restroom and sink then taking pictures of the places where the water goes through and then finally where it ends up.
My thought process when coming up with this idea was first about rain. I wondered about the path rain takes and where it goes and if that would be a good idea. That led be to think about pipes and gutters but most of these have a very short travel path and end up on plants, not back in a water source. Then I concentrated on the idea of pipes and that’s how I came up with the water we use in our homes and thought about researching where it ends up. I had heard rumors that a lot of it ends up back in the ocean and rivers and it is the source of contamination and I found it intriguing to just find out the truth.
Preparation
Shot list:
- Sink
- Drain
- Drainpipes
- Gutters and/or manhole
- Treatment Facility (wide shot)
- River (wide shot)
- Ocean (wide shot)
I am thinking most of my shots will be based around the element of line.
