Week 2: Technology

Week 2: Technology

 I actually didn't think of this concept for Technology when we were originally coming up with topics for this project.  When Technology made the list, I will admit, I was a smidge nervous.  I really had no idea of how I wanted to portray it within an image (admittedly, I wasn't exactly inspired by it as a subject to photograph).  So, when Lynette texted me the topic for this week, I mentally groaned. (true story!) .... but then after thinking about it a bit I did get excited.  I have a wonderful collection and assortment of cameras.  Some work, some don't.  Some are very old and antiquated and some are nice and new.  It was fun to use the cameras for this project and incorporate my camera phone to show Technology. 

See you next week!

I chose Technology, because I knew it would be a challenging topic for me to photograph.  For most of the week I kept questioning myself on what I was going to photograph, every time I would brainstorm I kept returning to the idea of wires.  So I just went with it.  We as humans, are all programmed by our nervous system, and without it we would not be able to function.  We are all uniquely individually "wired", and that is precisely what I wanted to present to you.  Just as much as we rely on our nervous system to function we also seem to have to rely on technology just as much.  Where would we be today without it?  This I can not answer, nor even begin to imagine. 

Til next time :)

Coming up next week:  Week 3 - Creature

Welcome to I between two I

Welcome to the blog! This is just a little informational post.  We'd like to share how we met,  how the idea came about and how this blog will work.  We'll keep it short and sweet.

Erica and Lynette met while attending school at Metro Community College in Elkhorn, NE.  They happened to sign up for the same summer class, Intermediate Black and White Film and became fast friends.  Lynette and Erica took several classes together and often shared opinions, ideas and creative suggestions.  They completed a few different photography projects together while in school and have collaborated on personal projects. 

Lynette and Erica have very different styles yet find enjoyment in each other's work.  Their creative approach on shared subjects varies to such an extent that they often talked about how interesting it would be to explore and document their different views on shared topics.  Hence, the blog project, I between two I 's was born. 

Each week, Erica and Lynette will share with the viewer their art and perspective of a predetermined subject.  They will explore 52 random photographic assignments for all of 2012 and share their images (and maybe a few words).  Every Thursday a new image will be posted and the next week's topic will be announced. 

We hope you enjoy following along with us!  Coming up this week:  Week 1 - Upside Down
