Prompt: In this post you should outline what your process of collection will be. This process should be informed by an idea from the Mason reading, Bogost reading or Patrick Pound exhibition. Further, you should list what you know, don’t know and expect to see and/or hear.
Process of Collection
The process of collection will be simple. It will be collected with a film camera (Ricoh super 300) and the medium will strictly be photographs. The method is to take photographs of singular objects that stand out from the concourse or of more than one of the same objects that show particular alignment or patterns.
