Today we brought in a collection of images from our photoshoot over the weekend. Everyone had a lot of interesting stuff, so much so that people even laid their images on the ground! Well, from this collection brought the discussion on why we keep these sort of things. Such an interesting conversation that about an hour was spent with not one moment left for silence, and not one moment you could even get a word in. It was a very interesting discussion on the future compared to what we believed our generation was involved within thinking of our future. Kind of an confusing concept to get involved in, but one worth it to ponder about and question. Will it be consumed by technology? Or will our generation teach the next to keep it respected as a tool, rather than the overall attitute and infatuation with life inside of technology and social media be the main forms of life. Its kind of a far stretch to say this, but with the rapid development of ideas goals, before you can even think of something its aready here. Basically, in order to really have an original idea in an reachable way you have to think of it way beforehand, where people think its a crazy idea and one where its too crazy to have followers for revolution or change, if it is even necessary. Its hard to get the crowd to follow along, especially when they are so infatuated and wrapped up in the social media of trash, especially living in Florida where it seems to have no history at all compared to the north where there has been establishments from the beginning of colonization.
ANYWAYS, the main point of the conversation for the discussion in class to day was to ask ourselves why we do things. That moves into the past assignment of why we chose to take the photographs we chose, and through discussion we decided that the grunge look of textures and the decaying matter of them are what we are drawn to. More so because it has history.
