Guided Blog Assignment #2- New Eyes

We all have a routine that we follow, a certain route that we take home everyday, or the same alternate route. Often times we get used to the environment and the atmosphere, we see the same stores, houses, street lights, lamp posts. For this assignment I want you take a picture of something that you encounter on a daily basis and imagine it as you never experienced it before. Observe the richness of the space and its details,  for i.e..the tiny cracks on the side of a building, the light that flickers, the reflection of the sun on a window.... Experience the space with new eyes. Consider different angles, CU's, LS, to change the monotony of your experience of this space. You can use your phone to take this picture, if you don't have a phone with a camera, look for an image online of the area/space, or write a paragraph about the re-imagined space.

****Please provide the link to your blog post to this assignment. Please be sure to respond to atleast one  post.

This assignment is due March 4, 2012 Midnight. (Sun. AM)
