#Looking Through

#Contactsheets

I set my camera up on a tripod with a wide angle lens. There is vignetting around the edge of the shot as the camera that I used has a full frame sensor and the lens is not compatible with this. I could have cropped this to give me the same size image that I would have got from a cropped sensor camera, however I like the way it looks. It reminds me of an eye, being circular and this fits with the idea of us seeing more than just a single image that a photographs captures.

In the 19th century

•New technologies produce sense of time-space compression (instant communication via the telegraph, for example) 

•New ways of measuring time and experiencing vision as a result of railway travel 

•Beginnings of globalisation 

•Invention of photography and then cinema opens up new ways of “slicing” time. 

•'discussion of photography is dominated by the concept of time. Photographs appear as devices for stopping time and preserving fragments of the past, like flies in amber’ -Peter Wollen (in “Fire and Ice”)

fast shutter speed

For this photographs me and my friends setup the Uni’s studio to experiment with fast shutter speed. the object we use were eggs.

Team work did:  two of my friends did the egg smashing, one was on the camera, I mostly was the assistance and I did a bit of directing.

I didn’t think I could love Edward Muybridge more! And now Mark Rosen and Wendy Marvel took his images and created motorized flip books. There’s a kickstarter campaign so eventually everyone can have their own crank flip book.
