Pyscho-Geography Feedback

After presenting my Pyscho-Geography work to the class, Leah gave some feeback on my work that i produced.

She suggested presenting the album of images in a different way that's more a efficient/eye pleasing when presenting it. Like a presentation slideshow or video slideshow with a narration of my journey. However, after looking around on blogger to try and improve the presentation of my work, I found a gadget for slideshows. Sadly, I couldn't get it to work so I kept it the same way it is.

She also suggested not to put landscape images into the presentation, meaning my one panorama image. However, being a landscape photographer I prefer to shot landscape images which is why they are in the this project. Overall, Leah really liked my work and thought I had grasped the concept of Pyscho-Geography.

Pyscho-Geography

Our task was to pick a path never walked before and document every new experience or something that people would normally ignore. I decided to choose a road I've been driven down a lot, but never walked and doing so I noticed some new things, small and big. 

I also enjoyed the walk itself, as the rain made the clouds dark and but colourful later on in the evening. 

Friday 26th - Psycho-Geography

Sadly I was not well enough to come this lesson, however Leah put the tasks up on MyUCA so I was able to take part in the task set. Reading through the PDF file written by Leah, herself. She describes her experiences with Psycho-Geographical adventure in Stockholm. Reading about Psycho-Geography for the first time was an interesting experience as in previous years of GCSE geography has interested me to want to become a geologist. So the implication of geography or the physical earth used in art, caught my attention.

I tried doing as Leah said, writing my name in a map of Farnham and Aldershot, however my name was too long and the streets were too long or windy to write it. So on a bus ride home I got idea to walk a long straight road which I've been many times in various points in my life. However I've only ever been down that road in a vehicle so I decided to walk it. Using my DSLR to document new and interesting things.
