Facultative symbiosis
For the direction I am following for the next few weeks I want to look at a new symbiotic relationship. Facultative symbiosis ( when the species live together by choice). I want to look at how the bee chooses a flower to live with, they pick one specific type of plant to live their lives feeding from.

In 1921, Ray moved to Paris and became associated with the Parisian Dada and Surrealist circles of artists and writers. His experiments with photography included rediscovering how to make "camera-less" pictures, which he called rayographs. I am looking at his process and how I can use the idea of the photogram to create dynamic pi
Add context, loose something else
I have started looking at how I can add context to my images without having s contextual background reading. I have taken an image of an advacodo in the same way as I photographed the flowers. I think this image has no body to it and is not something I would like to explore further. The richness of the content is lost in the white background. Unlike the flowers that stood out and were very impactful. I have explored the idea of adding a graph to show the actual decline of the
