A New Order

Adaptation to a New Skill, Culture, and City
Niccolò Machiavelli The Prince 1513
The Beginning Spanish Steps
“It ought to be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things.”
I recognized on this trip that
somehow I had fallen into
a routine. I suppose the routine
itself wasn’t so much of a danger:
I met famliar challenges with the
patience and confidence garnered
throughout past experiences, and I
wasn’t weighed down by the
distraction that is insecurity. Most
concerning to me was that
I had a routine.
Introduction A Broken Routine
Extraction from the monotony
was a necessary resolution. I was
driven to explore new skills and
quickly adapt to change. At times,
I would feel out of place and inept
in my talents and exposure to this
new culture. When I was able
to make sense of the chaos of the
situation, I was more confident
as a designer, and eager as
a traveler.
I set about embracing this change. I set about tailoring my talents to make the most of the experience. We were met with high expectations for documentation of our experience. The most satisfac-tion I experienced was when the challenge became a new form of perception.
Introduction A Broken Routine
Rush Train to Rome
There was so much stimulation in the sites we explored. Colors, lighting, motion... It was easy to distort.
OVEREXPOSURE
Overexposure The Potential
Castel Sant’ Angelo ISO 800, 1/1600, f 5.6, 18mm
Top Left Shamed, Centrale Montemartini Top Right So Far from Home, Perugia Look Out Bottom Left Beautiful Light, Jewish Ghetto
Overexposure The Potential
Adapting to the Experience:
I soon understood how to parallel what I saw with what my camera saw. There were alternative perspectives to the world and I was capable of capturing them.
End of the Line, Termini Station
Overexposure The Potential
My camera would click and adjust in the dark corridors of churches. There was always a feeling of defeat when the lighting was too obscure to capture the image.
ENLIGHTING

Adapting to the Experience:
Photography was a technical practice. I was developing a working schema of how to adjust my camera within various spaces.

Serendipitous The Exploration
I was happy with the image, but I had no idea how the end product was achieved. I wanted more control.
SERENDIPITOUS
Cinque Terre ISO 100, 30s, f 6.3, 18mm
I was happy with the image, but I had no idea how the end product was achieved. I wanted more control.
Adapting to the Experience:
I started experimenting with the camera and learned to enjoy exploration of the technicalities.
