Re-live

 

Falling back to the well of education, I resumed the second year of University. It’s blazing hot here in Australia, and my pig-body isn’t helping.  But why am I here to nag, when I can tell you about core subject. I get the opportunity to explore more about photography, different way it is used. I read an introductory project: Photomediations: A Reader and I learned that popularly photography is divided into 2 aspect; photography as art and photography as social practice.

Photography as art is explainable by itself, you’ll mostly associate it with it’s value, exhibitions, galleries, abstraction sometimes in need of interpretation. An extension of panting, photography as art is another medium for artist to express their sense of artistry.

The latter aspect, does not only explain that photography is an agent of social change, but it is also a representation of society, it’s behaviour with photographs, and the popular taste in photography.

The photographs above are a result from Tuesday’s practice with Brian, there were supposed to be more photos, but these ones were the only one I took with my camera.

Uses of Photography

 

Brian printed some of the photos that the class submitted, pinned them on the wall and gave us a chance to pick a favourite. It was challenging because everyone made such good photos. Group and individual photos were all up in the wall, and we started to put red and purple sticky notes over them. I put mine on a black & white trio photo, Which I really loved but wished to improve because one of the subjects was looking at a different way. After giving feedback on the photos, Brian talked with the class about the reading, the common conception of photography and different quotes given by auters in the book.
