For   the   second   part   of   our   FIRST   exercise,   Meg   and   I   exchanged   various  

components   from   our   Project_1.1.     I   ended   up   making   two   different  

interpretations   that   used   three   different   components   found   in   her   book.    

While   looking   through   her   book,   I   found   myself   really   drawn   to   all   of   the  

different   textures   that   she   incorporated  with  her  photographs,  which   to  me  

really   gave   those   pictures   as   sense   of   place.     So   when   I   was   making   my  

spreads,   I   was   very   interested   in   incorporation   of   texture   and   how   it  

intermixes  with  the  image.    After  making  both  interpretations,  Meg  preferred  

the  first  one,  with  the  highly  saturated  colors,  but  I  found  myself  more  drawn  

to  the  second  one,  with  the  lighter  colors,  and  the  closer-­‐up  images.    I  do  think  

it’s   interesting   to   compare   the   two   interpretations   together.     Although   the  

same  image  was  used  to  create  the  textured  surfaced  of  the  pictures,  just  the  

different  coloring  creates  such  different  feels  when  looking  at  them.        I  really  

enjoyed  Meg’s  remake  of  a  spread  from  my  Project_1.1.    The  two  images  she  

chose  to  combine  were  my  two  favorite  images  from  my  project.    I  think  that  

the   overlay   of   the   pearl   necklace   over   the   letter   really   tie   the   two   objects  

together,  and  I  can  really  feel  the  sense  of  intimacy  that  I  was  trying  to  portray  

throughout   my   project   in   Meg’s   remake.     With   the   transparency   of   the  

necklace  and  the  faded  words,  I  really  feel  a  sense  of  the  loss  that  I  was  trying  

to  emanate  originally.    I  think  Meg  did  a  really  good  job  re-­‐interpreting  it.
