Take 4 photographs of a subject; conventional, placing the subject in context, detailed shot and filling the frame.
Using the notion from the previous page of the course document that everything we look at is a potential image I used the land line phone in our front room because I was stuck indoors and couldn't go out at the time. It's not a very good-looking object. It's pretty dated and is hardly used. However, it has become a symbolic object in our family that engenders a wide range of emotions from all of us for various reasons.
I do like that I have used such a basic object - is it a bit utilitarian?
I didn't really succeed in getting the detail shot so had to crop - I must have misread something when I did it (a few weeks ago) so it's not as sharp as it aught to be. I've also tried it in black and white to see if it improves it - not really.
I think it can sometimes take me a while to start concentrating... I wonder if these shots demonstrate that!
