When photography was invented, it became a way to document and reveal the specific aspects of both familiar and faraway places. Imagine a familiar place. Imagine a faraway place. How would you use photographs to convey the difference? Can you imagine any places that have been “touched” very little by humans? How might you photograph them?
I would use photographs to convey the differences between a familiar place and a faraway place by making a series of photographs for each location and putting them side by side. For example, I would take a picture of clothing, people, food, recreation, and housing in each location and place the photographs next to each other so the viewer could easily compare the two. For places that have been touched very little by humans, I would try to show the fact that they are "natural" in my photographs. For example, photos of wildlife, unspoiled wilderness, and a vast landscape with no roads or buildings could help convey that the place has been touched very little by humans.
