Week 4 Discussion

Using a Camera


As the author states in Chapter 2, it is important to find photos of materials in their most basic form, as well as materials that have been aged or altered. Using your skills of perception and imagination, how could familiar materials (as in this week's assignment) around you be used in a new context/environment? (For example, carpet material used as sea coral) Also, where do you think the best place is to find/take photos of new materials?
