Ok, so the second module has started on the first year of my photographic art degree. It's called 'the reality construct' and is made up of two parts. The first is what I'm working on now. The second part is a school trip to a mansion somewhere for a few days.
Above is a portion of my desk at the moment. I've been studying hard, reading papers and researching ideas for what I want to do. All the stuff stuck on the board is relevent, apart from the pink di.
Mapping the unmappable is a paper I've just read in my research about visual representations of the internet as social constructions. It was actually a really interesting read if you're bored enough :)
This is a question I have asked in another group. It's received some great comments and ideas there and I hope I can get some more here from my contacts:
How can I take a photograph of the internet?
I'm working on a photography project that requires me to take a series of photos (min 10) of a space. One that I know well or could get to know well. The majority of my peers are choosing to focus their attentions on outdoor spaces such as car parks, fields, shopping malls or even trying out a bit of urbex.
I wanted to try something a bit more conceptual. I spend so much time, here, on the internet. I run with multiple personalities (none hidden or creepy) and use a multitude of sites. The space I want to photograph is THE INTERNET.
I've put in a bit of research and discovered computer generated artworks showing nodes in a sphere or plasma like structure in either 3d or 2d. I'm sure you've seen this sort of stuff before without even realising. This is a Google image search on What does the internet look like?
My project is to be shot with a medium format camera using black and white film. I'll be developing myself. I am open to all suggestions on how to approach this, I've certainly been racking my brains trying to think of a good starting point. Taking a photo of the screen is of course my immediate thought. Perhaps you guys could help me come up with something more conceptual or still, a better photo of the reality.
I will also need to present how I will be displaying the works too.
All suggestions, no matter how silly or far fetched are welcome.

As much as how presentable a person looks, others tend to have an impression of how they live gloriously and elegantly.
Here in my opinion is a small and an overlooked scene of the lives of city folks.

I love mapping things. I used to be much better at it; neater, with the squared paper and the coloured pencils.
I missed off all the tables we never really use. :-}

Google has a neat little application for viewing their maps on your Windows Media enabled mobile phone.
The quality of this photo is a little lacking, and my screen is somewhat better than it appears in this picture, but I'm pleased to say that much of the functionality of the web version of Google Maps is available in the mobile version.

Mapping invisible / Mendiak
The memory of what has been real, it’s already a proof of the absence, the
landscapes where the other one is missing... it has been for real? Only the
lines, strokes, stains, the gesture, the partial, the oblivion… The memory
beyond the landscape, recreated inside the interior arquitecture, broken,
incomplete, as the geography of the contemporary identity.
“When the peaks of our sky come together. My house will have a roof.” - Paul Eluard
This map shows an area of the storm water drain system in Manzoor Colony, Karachi.
Whenever Karachi floods, the government announces plans to widen its storm water drains (nalas) that carry the floodwaters to the sea. It then announces the number of houses in informal settlements to be demolished along the banks of the nalas, considered to be blocking the flow of water.
However, communities have long argued that their encroachments are just one of the reasons why Karachi floods. Other reasons are that the nalas are choked with sewage sludge and garbage, while independent planners point out that three of the major outfalls to the sea are blocked – so even if the nalas are widened, flooding will still occur.
In September 2020, the community itself decided to map the nala system. The findings showed that the Manzoor Colony nala is about seven feet deep, of which three to four feet are filled with sewage sludge and silt. At 21 points in this drainage network the Manzoor Colony nala and the other nalas connected to it are blocked with garbage, debris, and collapsed infrastructure. All this was mapped and photographed.
This image shows the map that was produced by the Technical Training Resource Centre.

On our way back from Escondido we stopped at the Walmart of San Marcos, CA just for a few minutes, sadly too many people so I was not able to take many photos and the sun prevented me from taking a decent shot of the facade... :(
This Walmart was built on the site of the original San Marcos 6 Screens Edwards Cinemas which closed in 2000 and were razed leaving only the Guitar Center and a few other stores standing and this new shopping center, Nordhal Marketplace opened up, by the way there's a nearby Costco which might get a sister location in Escondido as there's plans for North County Mall (formerly Westfield North County Fair) to tear down the old Sears location and build a Costco!
