Psycogeography


Psychogeography!
From what we discussed in class, I got the idea that it's how the way things in the environment cause you to react to it. For example, maybe you enter a room and get a good feeling from it, but can't explain why. This good feeling might come because subliminally, your brain thinks that rectangular objects are good, and the room has a lot of books and rectangular chairs and tables. 

Anyways, we were supposed to take pictures of whatever interested us so here are my pictures (taken with the rule of thirds of course~)

The objects I chose to photograph are objects in my house that I absolutely must have in the same spot, otherwise I feel annoyed or like something isn't right. If I remember correctly, personal psychogeography is the way you arrange your environment so I thought these items were good example of personal psychogeography. 
The only exception is the fifth picture. It's of this ledge above the stairs leading out of my home. I took that picture because something about that ledge causes me to touch it every time I leave the house, so I thought that would be a good example of psychogeography.
