Desolation and decay
Zach 42820014, Tim 42856981
For this photo essay we drew inspiration from things that look decayed and areas that look desolate, hence our theme 'Desolation and Decay'. In the modern world, man has left many built up areas to decay after their usefulness has expired. the original idea came from the developement of homebush for the one-time event of The 2000 Olympics in Sydney. Unfortunately we happened to pick an incredibly busy time for the Olympic Park, therefore we had to change the location of our photo-shoot. We picked areas within suburban neighbourhoods that had either been subject to low maintenance, abandonment, or even half finished projects. In the process of editing, we managed to keep the images as close to original quality as possible, although cropping and minor adjustments allowed us to enhance our theme whilst still maintain a real and minimally edited quality. The sound file use was recorded by Zach to also reflect the theme further, as a group we decided to create our own music so that we could twist the theme whatever way we wanted. The sound gives the photos a feeling of detachment.
