Unknown vs. Familiar Space:
When photography was invented, it became a way to document and reveal the specific aspects of both familiar and faraway places. Imagine a familiar place. Imagine a faraway place. How would you use photographs to convey the difference? Can you imagine any places that have been “touched” very little by humans? How might you photograph them?
I think it would be an interesting piece to contrast between my own home and a home that I have never been to. There is nothing more familiar than your own home (hopefully) and the contrast between that and another home would be interesting. To do a house close to your own would be fascinating, as I'm sure there would be similarities and differences that you may not have realized. But If I were to contrast my own home between a different location than my own would be a much more engaging project. I have seen pictures of homes of celebritites that seem to be almost unused, which is something that can be hard to grasp, since the homes are sometimes worth millions and millions of dollars. The way they are touched by humans is much different than that of the normal home owner, since the rich have teams of interior decorators and architects to design every last detail of their homes. I would photograph different parts of the interior, and it would be a series of different shots throughout the homes. I guess it could be considered more of a contrast between a house and a home. Looking more into it, I suppose it would also be interesting to contrast between the wealth of other people, besides Americans, and look at homes throughout the world.
