Near final

Here are the images that I am going to use as my final 8. They have a litle bit of tweaking to do including the addition of shadows and then they will be done.

Wellington CBD minus people

Here are the images from my Sunday morning shoot. it was a brisk morning but beautiful, the sun was coming up for one of Wellington's can't beat good days.

 

I went into the city at this time so that I could get images of the city less the people.

 

 

There are plenty of images that I should be able to manipulate to suit my narrative.

Being a flaneur

The flaneur society's guide to getting lost asks if when navigating the city "what if there was no point B?" As a student who has known Wellington for my whole life there is little of it where I really can get lost, and in a life so full of other priorities it is hard to find the time to get lost in the city.

I have made my own flaneur rule: allow an extra half hour of travel time and travel a route that you usually wouldn't. I still have an eventual destination but my journey takes me to new interesting places.

I also follow good advice that I learn in photographics. Always carry your camera with you.

One of the ideas that came across when being taught of the flaneur was to lose ones inhibitions. In most of these photos I was intoxicated and therefore my inhibitions were lowered and I was more relaxed to make navigational decisions and photographic decisions.

Cropped Sheep

Here are the images cropped out from their backgrounds.

  

From here I will need to find the best placement for for them in the city that communicates my ideas of following blindly and routine whether for good or bad ends.

Sheep

I searched up images mostly via 'Flickr' of sheep, under a creative commons license.

I will use some of these images to edit into images that I have taken of Wellington's CBD.

5 - 7 - 5

Here is another Haiku, just because, it doesn't relate to my rural/city idea, however it does discuss how the different role that the city has during the day and at night.
I like the contrast between light and dark and the different purposes and people who occupy the city at different times for different reasons.


Day is business time.
Earn. Tire. Unbutton. Spend. Skank.
Night is business time.


I have been told that with Haiku you must stick to the 5 - 7 - 5 syllable format, however, if you pronounce something lazily or differently then you can use an alternate syllable count.
e.g. I have always pronounce business in two syllables even though it should be pronounced with three.
