   John Baldessari 

  Throwing Three Balls in the Air to Get a Straight Line



I look at John Baldessari as I was thinking about making a series about a journey and showing movement in the series, as I was still unsure of what I wanted to for my portrait series. I liked how the Orange ball contrasted with the blue sky and that you also got to see a bit of the surrounding, for example, the tree in the background. I think I would like to Capture a journey of something and maybe try and get some of that blue sky. I also like John Baldessari photomontage work and that is also something I would like to try in my work as it creates more layers and texture within an image which then creates new meaning and maybe even a journey.

     Men in the Cities



After taking photos of journeys I was on my way home filming for the mini projects and I had a thought that I have noticed before about a city in London that is divided by the gentrification and how there is a wall that shows a physical diversion between two parts of the same place. On one side you have the gentrification version and on the other side, you have the small family business and the market. I wanted to base my portrait series on this ideas. so I was thinking about using stereotypes and have a businessman on the market side to show the different lifestyles people have in the same area. so I looked at Robert Longo even though my work has a different concept I liked how he got people in suits and that it captures the area they wore in and also shows them in run-down places with the famous landmarking behind.

- I was still think about a space that Draws you in visually (so colour and patterns) mesmerising.almost Hypnotising and then it becomes jarring or have sound that will kind of want people to leave or Vibration - I kept Experimenting with patterns and playing around with Mirroring patterns and speed. when playing around with Reversing the patterns and sound it made me think of The Beatles -When I talked with Kathleen she spoke about telepath, Zener cards and mind control  I then watched a Short documentary about how in the Future the idea of using your mind to Control things. Brain cells communicate to each other by firing off tiny chemical and electric signals and when you think of something like disappear a particular pattern of brain waves are generate and thats what the head set picks up.But the head set at the Moment is imperfect as echo of the waves. This made me think about ... Marcus Lyall - On your wavelength ...

Here we went for a walk around Farnham to observe what was around us and taking photos of the area. I like this as it made me go and explore new areas that I haven't been before. I took a lot of photos in colour and Monochrome. I like how the when I took a photo of the same object or place it changed the way you viewed or felt about it. Some of the photos turned out ok and the others not so much. Here are some not so good photos that I took …. Here are the ones that I thought where Successful.....
