CLICK: The Burning House - due Tue. 12/20
This week's Click assignment will be a response to this age-old question: If your house was burning, what would you take with you?
In 2011, photographer Foster Huntington created a blog called The Burning House
(http://theburninghouse.com/), where he invited anyone across the world to visually
respond to this question. His intention was to explore the personal connection that all
humans have with material things, as well as the conflict between what is practical,
valuable and sentimental.
In your response, think about how your possessions tell a story about you and what you
value. Consider the arrangement, location, and significance of each object.
INCLUDE IN YOUR DESCRIPTION:
1) a list of the objects in your photo
2) what you value in these objects
