Task two-Prompt post

For this week task, we choose two different places to pick up pictures. Each of us will pick up ten pictures every five steps we take in that location. Jemma will take it in Victory market; I will take it in the entrance of Flinders station.

In the last two weeks, we went to the Patrick Pound exhibition to visit photography. The recorder who is good at classification to all types of photos. He collects his family lives photos, his wife, and the growth of daughters at different ages. Also, there are great photographs about the world history, such as the World War II. The inventor had created a variety of fighter planes in that period. In the exhibition blackboard, I’ve noticed that the author has the own understanding of photography. To be honest, his minds influenced me. “Collecting found photos is like taking cuttings from the world.” People take pictures to record one day or one thing but standing on another perspective thinking, each photo could record the different timeline of the world. So the enormous photos could represent the world to some extent. The exhibition had a lot of every day random objects so we felt by taking 5 steps in our locations we would be able to capture a similar sense of reality. We try to use this way to view the world in our eyes.

Before going to the Degraves street entrance to Flinders street station, I received the entrance location photos from Jemma and I found that place following the map. Actually, the entrance is located in a narrow lane. But I am surprised that the various elements of the alley, there are colorful cake shop, pizza shop wrapped in graffiti wall, the walls of the Buddha, the old Melbourne posters, and people often see the peace pigeon. In this place, I can feel a strong cultural atmosphere. Because there are many shops on both sides of the road, so I hear the noise and people talk. In the underground, I found that everything is quieter, people are busy learning for the work and soon rushed to the ticket gate. There is a street artist is playing a soothing song, which passers-by eager to make a sharp contrast. In the underground passage, there are many exhibitions on the wall that makes me feel very creative. For example, I see a necklace made of plastic. I got these pictures about 5 pm because I expect to see the lighting change or lighting meaning in the different places. I took 2 pictures of the barber shop and jewelry shop. The barber shop light looks so pale, but the opposite side of the jewelry shop looks so warm, it is like the feeling at home. In addition, I noticed the elements of information throughout the corner, the walls of small cards and a variety of advertising, new product promotion pictures, film festival posters. I think it’s challenging to catch people’s fast-moving facial expressions, limited space, and lack of light to make it difficult to record people’s facial expressions
