Graffiti on dumpster, Charlotte, North Carolina. 30 Oct. 2012. Personal Photograph by Kristen Armstrong. JPEG file.
This picture was taken on the side of the back entrance to the Atkins Library. Our Ethnography Project is focusing on unique or different forms of literature. We are primarily focusing on literature that encompasses a sense of freedom of expression. Graffiti is an example of this because there are no limitations when it comes to this form of expression.
T-shirts hanging, Charlotte, North Carolina. 30 Oct. 2012. Personal Photograph by Kristen Armstrong. JPEG file.
These t-shirts were strung outside of the Atkins Library. On each shirt, someone put a message of anything they wanted. The purpose of this display was unknown to us. We wanted to include this picture because many of these shirts held a hurtful or sad message...things that are not always publicly addressed. However, many of the shirts were anonymous, and thus, left a lot of room to express concerns or feelings freely.
Writing on desk, Charlotte, North Carolina. 30 Oct. 2012. Personal Photograph by Kristen Armstrong. JPEG file.
This photo was taken in a classroom in the building Denny. The writing on the desk can sometimes show a students realest thoughts. No one is there to grade or critique what you're writing on a desk top so there are no worries of being proper or saying the right thing.
It's pretty cool how you looked at specific things instead of broad items. The graffiti on the dumpster is something that I would have never payed attention to. But I think it's cool how you realized that it had something significant to it.
ReplyDeleteI should have learned more how about how to cite pictures because my group has a few that we'd like too share as well. I like all your sources!
