Describe at least one photogr Describe at least one photograph that you could take for each of the following “place” prompts (#20)

#20 Describe at least one photograph that you could take for each of the following “place” prompts.
  • An image of a synthetic “place” such as Disney World, Las Vegas, a Hollywood set, a diorama, etc.
    • Las Vegas: I would photograph poker chips, cards, alcohol, maybe a feather boa too laid out on a surface.
  • An image of a fantasy/fictitious environment concocted from your imagination.
    • The inside of a doll house extremely zoomed in so at first glace you question if you're looking at a real room or not.
  • An image of a placeless space such as the Internet, cell phones, e-mail, e-bank, surveillance, etc.
    • When I hear the word placeless, I think of the colors white or black right away. One photograph could be an all white empty room with no windows, doors, or anything.
  • An image of a public space.
    • A coffee shop. I can image someone reading a magazine, relaxing in front of a fire place, curled up in a chair with a cup of coffee next to them.
  • An image of a private space.
    • Probably one of the most private spaces for anyone is their bedroom. I picture something similar to my coffee shop picture, someone curled up on their bed, with a cat at their feet, relaxing.
  • An in-between space that brings to mind one of the following ideas: nomadic lifestyles, displacement, rootlessness, out-of-placeness, boundaries, movement, expansion, etc. 
    • I picture a homeless person, sitting against the side of a building on the sidewalk. All you can see is their holey shoes, torn gloves, holding a cup.
