Thinking of the old punk flyposters or political activist posters that would just appear overnight in '70's/80's. These anti establishment posters had a do it yourself philosophy, carrying simple, direct messages - so with this in mind I chose two pics that I considered to be clear and eyecatching from a distance and used a 'litho' font (had an immediacy and hand-made feel to it).  Turned some of the pictures into posters and titled them 'ALTER URBAN SPACE,  as the simple, direct message and displayed them in various places, similar to a guerrilla poster campaign.

I photographed the posters in various situations and then removed them.

Experimenting with pinhole photography.

Simple wooden box with small hole in front, using light sensitive paper and varying

exposure times for different effects.

                                    Such a simple method achieved some interesting results.

Decided to revisit kaleidoscope experiements(using metal box pipe), this time moving camera back from the pipe making the image clearer.  This means that it is easier to distinguish what has been altered by the effect of kaleidoscope.

I think being able to identify the objects in the image adds to the kaleidoscopic effect - you can uderstand the space that has been altered by looking though the pipe.

 

Went out to college car park and took some pics.

 

Cropped pics down to just the kaleidoscope view and enlarged.

 

Kept some of the images full format, think its interesting to see the two different perspectives of the same space.

 

 

 

Took photo's around town, graffiti, carparks, industrial estate, housing estates, town square etc.  Cropped most to the kaleidoscope image but kept some full format to allow comparison between the scene and the altered image through kaleidoscope.
