Project 4 – The Trace – Written Ideas

I want to take this project as literally as I can. I want to capture what has been left behind as someone else.  I won’t be leaving my mark anywhere.  I would like to take on the role of a detective through these photographs.  I will attempt to assess the behavior of people from evidence that they left behind.  I imagine I will find a lot of things like litter and garbage, graffiti, and other signs of human (or animal) activity such as wear and tear.  Also, I think maybe I will try to take an environmental perspective because every time I walk or jog by the river I notice evidence of negative impact human behavior has had on the Rock River and surrounding areas.
