For this project, we were required to take a walk around the community and find certain elements we had not noticed before. I walked close to the UMBC campus in an area of Catonsville. It was a walk I had taken many times, but I never noticed how the highway divided the community between a friendly, family oriented neighborhood and cold, unemotional apartment buildings. I documented with my camera how in front of the rows of houses there were gardens, lawn ornaments, and chairs. On the other side of the bridge, there was nothing. A few bus stop benches and a sign stating "Private Property". The atmosphere had changed.
The formal aspects of the project: a webpage, photographs, and found objects.
I've had some trouble learning certain aspects of dreamweaver and html, but my site is coming together. For a while I was unsure of what to use as the homepage because I didn't want anything too flashy or too dull. I ended up using a drawing I made that was based off of a
combination of photographs from the journey.
Another thing I've had trouble with was limiting my photographs down to ten. I to
ok so many and there were so many different elements that I discovered in the walk.
Many of the "found objects" I had to photograph because we were not able to take them with us.
