Progressive photo journal II

[vaneramos]

Almost a year ago, I did a progressive photo journal of the path where I regularly walk, stopping every 30 paces and taking a photo. Thus I introduced LJ to the Eramosa River. The experiment was limited by my memory card, which only fit 36 images that day.

Today I conducted a new progressive photo journal, this time recording a walk from my front door to downtown Guelph. My camera has more memory now, so I completed the walk with 108 photos—and 3,240 paces. The images are posted on my web site. They progress from left to right and top to bottom. If you're on dial-up, they'll take some time to download. They're small, so you won't see many details, but the overall effect is interesting.

In particular, you'll notice how the quality of the urban setting changes from small factories and rundown houses to literally the other side of the tracks, dominated by large Victorian homes, and finally to larger stone buildings near downtown. Some of the photos are difficult to interpret at this size, but if you look closely you'll find interesting details. This self-assignment gave me ideas for things I want to go back and photograph more carefully.

Here are some things to look for, in the nature of a Where's Waldo or I Spy book:

1. both of the images which appear in this post in slightly edited form


2. six images showing all or part of St. George's Anglican Church, bonus points if you can find eight


3. an Easter egg tree


4. graffiti art


5. a young man with a flute


6. a purple door
