I tried to take a braintest and guess what I equally use my brain. I’m so amazed.

Forces of Creation
After reading so much about the destruction of language, it was refreshing to finally hear about language creation. Chapter 5 was very intriguing because Dr. de Troy was basically saying that the destruction of language is also the creation of language. Without this destruction, language would never evolve or develop, leaving us stuck. Something that stuck out to me was the word ‘gonna’. The “destruction” of the phrase ‘going to’ has created a new word that can stand on its own and hold its own meaning. I knew that ‘gonna’ came from ‘going to’, but I never really thought about the fact that ‘gonna’ has its own meaning. What baffled be at first was the idea that you can say “I am going to a concert”, but you can’t say “I’m gonna concert”. This example clearly shows that the destruction of ‘going to’ created something new and helped our language evolve.

This is a mock-up of how I would want my final outcomes to be displayed. I went with a simple, plain font as to not over complicate the text or draw the eye away from the main focus, which is the images.
Text Under Images
6/2/17
I have been thinking about how to put text under my images throughout the whole project and during all of my shoots and I think the most effective way to display the images would be to ask the subjects of the images a few questions and display their answers directly under their corresponding images. I have been trying to decide what I should ask the people I photographed as I want to display the meaning behind the people’s tattoos or lack there of so have decided to ask two questions as I think three would be too many and one would be too little.
‘Why did you get a tattoo?’ ‘What is the meaning behind your tattoo?’
I think these two questions will delve into the personal meanings behind some of the tattoos and give insight to people who previously didn’t like the idea of tattoos and show that they can be very meaningful. I am going to work on getting these answers from the people I photographed in the next few days so I can print up the text and display it under the images.

Today was mostly spent editing photos and printing out images taken over week we had off for the Amsterdam/Home projects. We had group tutorials with the head of photography and she gave us advice on our projects and gave us so photographers to research that are relevant to our projects. She told me that I should have an overarching link between all of my final images to connect them all and make them a proper series. In the background of a few of my images, completely by coincidence, there have been windows providing backlight. If I consciously include windows in all of my images it could create a nice link between them and make the series click.
