The stuff that keeps me away from flickr..!
..architecture studies ;)
This might become a case of tl;dr, but if so, don't ask me what it is ;)
Normally when we do photography, we "find" our subjects. Or they are "given", or presented to us. Not so often do we create them. Photographing architects are among those who have that rare pleasure.. But even then the subjects are usually made for an entirely different purpose and the photos are just representations of them. In the previous semester in my architecture studies, I had the rare pleasure of exploring photography as a tool in itself. to -not take- but actually create photographs that was just that -images. This was done in combination with physical models in cardboard, plastic and similar. Sometimes the model served the photo, other times the opposite.
The course I participated in was called Studio B3, a highly abstract, experimental, pedagogic and philosophic course. The main aim is for the students to explore their own creative process -to discover where the ideas come from and how to develop them. To kickstart this they usually have a main theme; in later years a series called "The New Collective"; a search for a new relationship between architecture, nature and culture, through one specific subject -this time; Garden, previously; network, market, scene, dwelling, workplace etc..
So what are these images? They are photos from some of the 15 physical models I made only for the sake of translating the vague images in my head into a format I could communicate. Some of the photos are just representations of the models, but which I enjoy as photos nonetheless. Most of them however, are as close as I could come to the images that intuitively emerged from my imagination when discussing "garden" in a wider sense.
I feel good :)
Have a nice weekend!

I thought that a dog looking into a pond and seeing fish and his reflection would be suitable for this week's theme. The water is a mirror with transparent photographic images of fish, rocks, weeds and ripples printed onto it.
Macro Mondays, theme # Reflection
