Street shots continued..

I like these diptych ideas because they are about the ways in which you read into an image or situation. When we look at thing we always look for clues that will help us out, lead us in the right direction and give us an overall sense of what is going on. Both of the images in these diptychs work well on their own, but paired in the way that they are, it  is the signs and the righting that is the focus of them. In the top diptych the image is very empty in terms of visual information to help you understand the image. I took the pictures in this because I liked how the scene was marked by the text. The graffiti claims ownership over the area, and the words change how you view the picture. With the bottom diptych, the street sign is centred in the image so it is the main focus, maybe bringing that into focus more by having the background out of focus more would help bring our attention more to the sign. But by having the background in focus we still search for we this is, but the trees and the pillars seem to block alot of this information and seal us out. the photo next to it is more clear and brings us closer to a clue, a way out, it's more focused, and gives us a better idea of where we are supposed to go.
