Blog Post #20

#20 Describe at least one photograph that you could take for each of the following “place” prompts.
  • An image of a synthetic “place” - For an image of a synthetic place, I could take a photograph of a golf course or a formal garden.
  • An image of a fantasy/fictitious environment concocted from your imagination - For this image, I could reconstruct the fictitious environment. For example, if I imagined a city on another planet, I could construct the scene using paper and other props. Then I would be able to take a photo of it.
  • An image of a placeless space such as the Internet, cell phones, e-mail, e-bank, surveillance - To take a photo of a placeless space, I could photograph a computer with an error screen or take a photo of a cell phone with a "message sent" screen.
  • An image of a public space - For an image of a public space, I could take a photograph of children playing in a public park or people entering a public library.
  • An image of a private space - For an image of a private space, I could take a photo of a basement or a bedroom.
  • An in-between space that brings to mind one of the following ideas: nomadic lifestyles, displacement, rootlessness, out-of-placeness, boundaries, movement, expansion - For an in-between space, I could take a photo of a single car in an empty parking lot near a bus or train station. This space would bring movement and rootlessness to my mind.
