Instead

We were set a task to take an image of something that represents yourself, without have you in the photograph. I really like this idea, the thought of objects reflecting personality it interesting. I chose to take a photograph of my desk as I feel it reflects me the most. Its not only where I work but also where I dump random objects if they don't have a home. Its messy and cluttered but it represents a lot about me. I did not set this photograph up, it is generally how my desk looks on a day to day basis. The objects consist of breakfast debris, books, a framed family photograph, hairbrush, cigarettes, an empty bottle, a camera, stationary, film, clutch bags, a purse and headphones. All pretty personal things, some of which I cannot live without. I took both colour and black and white photographs to compare and see which I preferred. I like the diverse many colours in the bottom image however I think it draws attention away from the objects.
