Postscript to 'Looking for brothers & sisters'

Studio Assignment - multiple exposure

Thanks Jeremy - you were a great model! 

Location Portfolio - Kings X 8 photos - daytime images

I visited Kings X 4 times & each time photographed a few people. It took a long time as I struck up a conversation each time & learnt a bit about their lives. Belinda wanted me to reveal all (or some) of what I learnt about them but I am reticent to do that as I respect them & what they told me I think was in confidence. I haven't made that decision yet - the High Court is such a public place. Also even though Silvia says it is important to give their names in documentaries, I am even not sure whether to do that because of each one of their situations. Many or most are possibly at the lowest ebb in their lives. Advice here would be appreciated. I would be happy to give the stories here on the blog, but not so happy at the High Court.

eg The 2 girls in front of the Coca-Cola sign describe themselves as 'working girls'. It was  7.30am & they had just finished working all night. One has told her mother that she is a dancer & the other told her mother that she is a bar maid. I would hate it if someone who knew someone who knew someone, & then somehow got it back to their mothers about their real occupations.

I  will be re-working the images after getting some advice from Belinda.

Small Products Assignment - 2 more

On September 30, I posted 4 photos of Small products. These are the 2 remaining shots.

Preparation methods - Final Assignment

STATEMENT OF RATIONALE & INTENTION:

I have decided to do a children's book for the final assignment, directed to my grandchildren and about an adventure that they go on. It will be presented in a long fanned book rather than a 'turn the page' book. Presented in this way, all the pages will be visible at once. It will sit on a longish table/shelf. It will be based on the smaller story I did & posted  on the blog on 16 September, called 'Illustrated story". I won't include all the images here (it is 17 pages long!) - just 2 more in addition to what I blogged earlier.

Aquilla Helicopter

Poem 'Nasty" by Dallas Bland

Life passes

through foggy glass

stained

poisoned

All the time to waste away

the strength to bleed life from my face

and camouflage amongst the waste 

and morbid deeds consuming faith
