Brain Fitness #5

Looking through the images obtained so far, S was mostly very happy with how they were turning out. He agrees with my approach to the books, in the sense that one will be focusing on family and home life, while the other will be incorporating nature as a focus. The main concern we have about the images I have taken are that there isn't much diversity to how they can be taken; most of these images simply include S holding up his photos, or the photos laid out on the table, since he hasn't brought in any objects besides photos to show me. I have tried to be unique in my approach, in the sense of including pictures of his class ring holding up the image of his graduation, for example. I have tuned my attention towards trying different angles and depths of field and framing techniques as a further attempt to diversify these images. But he mentioned that the subject matter-the images he brings in-seems to be the only thing that will be included, so why not just bring in the images themselves? If he doesn't begin to bring in other objects to refer to and photograph during our sessions, then I really think I will have to search the web for creative images to include besides the ones I have been collecting, as a means of making the book more captivating, and draw connections between his own images and the outside world.
