#Phonar: Alienated Sensory Mashup
Ok, this task required us to head out with a partner- one the eyes, one the ears- record- then mash it all together.
Due to visitors and an insane schedule for the past week I have done this today (the day of the class…but I’m 8hrs ahead so i figure it’s not too bad!) really quickly and with not half as much thought as I would have liked to have dedicated to this task.
Nevertheless, it meant I could go get lost in Beijing’s hutongs…the greatest place in the city if you ask me! Feelings wise…. well you always have the sense that you’re lost and caught in a maze of never-ending alleyways. There is a great sense of community and family in the hutongs, there are kids, bikes and dogs everywhere…

#Phonar: Journey To Work
This is the first post in a series of a many. I have signed up to an open photography course online…that actually happens in real life at Coventry Uni.
It’s all about storytelling. I guess this is something that I’ve always had trouble with regarding photography…
The first task was to tell the story of your journey to work.
My journey takes two minutes….Past lots of Chinese guards who you’re not allowed to take photos of…and it’s all just concrete and dull.
So after two days of getting shouted at by the numerous men in uniform this is what I have. I’m not totally happy with it…but seen as one of the guards kind of suggested that he should take my camera today I’m giving up and quitting while I’m ahead!
