walk one – sight
the media is constantly bombarding us with images…
who hasn’t heard that sentence before? i’ll admit, i’ve said it quite a few times myself. it is something that i think is very true, and decided to further explore on my first walk.
advertisements are everywhere:
“The average American is exposed to about 3000 advertising messages a day, and globally corporations spend over $620 billion each year to make their products seem desirable and to get us to buy them.” Union of Concerned Scientists Website
so, i walked from my old house on university to the center for creative photography and took photographs of all the advertisements i saw, these are some of them…
i see these things on such a regular basis, they’ve just become apart of my surroundings. i never really thought about the fact that they are meant to influence me to buy something or lure me into a space. clearly i need to start paying more attention.
