Shooting Assignment #1

Bring all of your files to class next week:  09.23

The conceptual bases for this assignment are:

·       Psychogeography, a subfield of geography, was defined in 1955 by Guy Debord as "the study of the precise laws and specific effects of the geographical environment, consciously organized or not, on the emotions and behavior of individuals."^[1] Another definition is "a whole toy box full of playful, inventive strategies for exploring cities...just about anything that takes pedestrians off their predictable paths and jolts them into a new awareness of the urban landscape."^[2](Wikipedia)

·       And the handout “Theory of Dérive” (read it)

What to do:

o   Set aside some time, an hour, 4 hours, a day, to wander somewhere without a destination, preferably somewhere that you are not that familiar with. 

o   Shoot at least 100 images or more (depending on how long your Dérive is) while on your trip.
