Photography as Documentation: Mapping Time & Space

Project 1: Mapping Space and Time
"To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them." - Elliott Erwitt


Overview:
Using the technique of photomontage / collage, create a portrait of a person or place over an extended period of time and space.

Objectives:
To build an understanding of photography’s unique relationship to time and space by intentionally compressing, extending, and altering both.
To build an understanding of how a 3-dimensional space is rendered on a 2-dimensional plane and how it relates to perspective.

Materials:Camera (any kind), 4x6-inch machine prints of all photographs made, appropriately sized sheet of white, grey, or black mounting board (foamcore, matboard), tape, glue, etc
