group evidence

USEM group update

So far in group "Tattoo history" we have done several individual interviews and taken various pictures of different types of tattoos. We had a group meeting on Friday at 1pm and interviewed someone about Samoan tattoos, processes and culture. It was a fun and inspiring meeting for our group to hear all about the old tattoo processes!

So far in my group's project we have decided which aspects of tattooing we are going to focus on. We have all been given assignments to interview people with tattoos and also we are going to do some interviews in tattoo parlors as well. The idea with the interviews is to obtain as much footage as possible so we will have a lot to work with for our video.

Here is a photo I found on the internet. I love the mysterious glow created by the fog in this image. This photo is shot using the rule of thirds because the weight is in the bottom left portion of the frame. There are also lines that create different directions for the eyes to follow throughout the image.

This is a Van Dyke infrared image I took of a dance studio that I grew up in as a kid back home in Wyoming. There is a very antique feeling created by the subject of the image and the color created by the Van Dyke process.
