dimanche, janvier 23, 2005 I can feel my sinuses (sinii?) burning already After looking at a couple of shots that my friend took for a digital photography/NIE project, I'm just wondering why I find the close-up partial shots of mundane/everyday objects rather appealing. I love her overhead shots of a cup of kopi, chilli (without soya sauce), and the extreme close-up of a leaf on a textured granite floor. Here's the picture of the chilli just to give you an idea of what I'm talking about:
On another note, I like the way a theme comes through in her pictures (I almost typed "accidentally", but I think I want to give her more credit than that.) There was a circular theme in the set of pictures which the chilli platter belonged to - you had an arial shot of the cup of kopi, another arial of the chilli, and another of a bowl of prawn noodles. Not that you have any control over the shape of the plates or bowls or the cup, but I liked the eye that saw the potential of the circles arriving from arial shots. This could be the etude of new media in Singapore: instead of the ubiquitous fruit bowl (which might be an interesting post-modern assignment actually: assign students to do a project on the theme of the fruit basket), you have an etude on the meal. Take pictures/make art of a meal. Just a thought. ETA: Actually, on second thought, a pomo assignment on the new media fruit basket might turn out to be more interesting.
