Production Strategy

For this Drift, I will use the following protocol:

1)I will start at the corner of Jean Nicolet Rd. and W. Fairfield Ct.
2)I will walk West down Fairfield Ct.
3)From then on, I will walk until I find a sound to record/picture to take
4) Every time I record a sound/take a picture, I will employ my 'direction device'

Direction Device: I will take the 4 jacks from a standard deck of playing cards. Each time I take a picture/record a sound, I will shuffle up the cards then pick one from the four (randomly, of course). Spade: Stay on the same road, go forwards
Club: Stay on the same road, go backwards
Heart: Go onto the next Road on the right
Diamond: Go onto the next Road on the Left


Picture Takin': 1) I will try to create a mix of land and sky and water in an inviting and interesting fashion
2) I will use both video and 'animated' photography to show different views of the same space

Drift 2 Starting Point

Looking back, I feel as though there was a flaw in choosing the Third Ward as a starting point for my first drift: it was too familiar a space. I live there one half of the time, and am fairly familiar with the area. This immediately would imply a bias, at least to me, in how I see the third ward - or, even, how I don't see it.

Therefore, for Drift 2, I will begin my derive at the corner of Jean Nicolet Rd. and W. Fairfield Court, near Nicolet High School. Given the general tendancy for Milwaukee's suburban children to be kept away from the other side of the highway, this is an area that is almost totally foreign to me - an odd thing, I feel. I live, relatively speaking, close to it; why should I not be familiar with the area?
