I've decided to take a note from our textbook, "The Nature of Photographs," and focus on one of the four elements of the depictive level: time. The quote, "a photo is static, but the world flows in time" really struck me, and I'd really like to experiment with slow shutter speeds in order to display motion in my photographs. As far as the sequence, I hope to show not just how motion is seen in the individual photos, but how the project as a whole moves.
Stephen Shore defines extrusive time as "the movement occurring in front of the camera, or movement of the camera itself, accumulating on the film, producing a blur." I'd like to shoot both of these situations--whether I'm photographing something moving, or whether I'm panning the camera to create movement. While using a slow shutter speed (probably not faster than 1/60), I hope to capture some cool moments--some "discreet parcels of time." I'd also like to present the project in a way that moves as well, so I was thinking of mounting the pictures to a pinwheel type thing...who knows though, I sure things will pan out as the project evolves.
