In this exercise I challenged that by not looking for the photo itself but what was around the photo I would have normally taken. I then put my photos of the day together and looked at them to see what they said about what I selected to keep of that day.
There is a chronological and geographical order to these photos, that gives them a context.
Although what I think gives them a more meaningful context is the fact that these images where taken after my bottom-to-top exercise.
There are shots here that I would not have taken before that, and this is what this collection of snaps is about: it's showing how my way of seeing a shot has changed.
That has added a new context to my photographies.
There are some interesting discoveries, like the pigeons, the real and the plastic substitutes on places where the real ones are not welcome, the obvious landmarks and the familiar often taken for granted. All these are my daily surroundings and yet I don't often notice them.
