The tumblr site has a more more slick interface for posting
but I later realized the images cant be zoomed.

Here is a second blog with a selection of artists that I have been

looking at for inspiration.

It is by no means comprehensive, I have tried to select only the
artist's works that I can see coming through in my work.

Well, there are some images that are not topical
but they are just too dam good not to post.

final series

This last one is my personal favourite. It expresses such a depth of emotion starting with the sad story of the budda heads themselves decapitated and then mass produced to the fill the "spititural" needs of the west. Then you have the story of the shopkeepers themselves, starting this new life in a new culture bringing these twisted fragments from there homelands. The thing I really find moving though is the way they seem to gaining comfort in holding each other. It seems to be the embrace of two whom have lost all else but know they need only each other.

2nd film

Again I wish I had a tripod as many of these images although pleasing in composition are useless due to camera noise and blur.

There are also images I felt were duplicates that I have not included.

1st film

These are the images I feel are most successful.

I was still far from happy about the photographic accuracy.

To prevent motion blur I was using iso of 1600 which in my 300d produces a very grainy image.

If I take images of this style again I will defiantly use a tripod and also use a window that is more parallel to the focal plane.

Also by spraying water on both sides of the window I made the drops look far more out of focus.

This I sadly did not notice on the small preview screen.

I would also like to set up Tableaux using myself and other models.

For this assignment I felt this would be too contrived and not representative of the street.
