Introduction

We are Megan Altizer, Joy Sun, Macrina Cooper-White, and Ray Xiong, and this is our Sudler Fund Project--A Photography Experiment.

The best way to describe this project, perhaps, is simply as an experiment in photography. When you take four twenty year old students in the same city, the same school, the same year, and give them the same themes to photograph in the same time frame, what will you see? What, if any, patterns might emerge? Are there consistent rules in the way we visually simplify our world? In interpreting a topic, what do we each choose to crop, and what do we each choose to keep?

We are asking Silliman and JE students to submit topic ideas anonymously. Each week, through a random process, we will select two topics to photograph independently.

At the end of each week, we will share our photographs with each other and on this blog.
Photography, at its essence, is the art of cropping. Through the camera, we can crop our world so that only the most important elements remain. A simple adjustment of the lens, a single step forward or backwards, a slight decrease in shutter speed or increase in aperture. All have the power to drastically transform the resulting image. Photography is about making choices on what to keep and what to cut; how to capture what you want and how to eliminate what you do not.
