archaelogical trail

In this project we had to photograph our collection of our trail this past tuesday, here is what I came to interpret the project as: a recording of events that took place throughout the day, whether important or ordinary. The succession of pictures starts in the morning with coffee and ends with a weird still-life that I keep finding myself drawn towards...i couldnt help but photograph it... I posted documentation of my trail on my flickr account, just click here, or if that doesnt work, my flickr is on the top left side of my blog!

trail project





Howdy,

This past week we had a trail assignment, where the class pairs up and works together. One partner makes a trail, be it virtual, actual, or mix of both, and the other partner follows the trail and records his or her findings. While Z was the creator of the trail, I was the finder. I went on my hunt this past monday morning at 8:30 before class. Unfortunately, it was raining REALLY hard and it was really windy...my umbrella flew out of my hands and i was drenched, so i called it quits halfway in between. I finished this afternoon, on wednesday. Z set up 4 wooden panels in a path in between my apartment and mason gross. Each panel had a painted or photographed design, with a code underneath. I texted him the code after i found the first one, so he sent me a riddle to find the next. This continued until the last panel.

Text #1: keep your eyes open. Irises wide with light. Go outside and there you will find a clue hanging in plain sight
Text #2: Daffodills and tulips tell me whos to blame. The fool of course who with much remorse left them on the train.
Text #3: Hit the streets and hit the books just dont hit eachother. The lessons learned from librarians outnumber those taught by mother.
Text #4: Youre almost there oh so close the finish line in sight. Make a call down the way and pick me up a slice.

Even though I couldnt finish the hunt in one go, I still enjoyed myself...Z had a great approach and I felt like a kid again! I think I might do one of these for fun with my friends :)
