Regeneration?

[Woz]

Been a while since I've been here, so hi peeps!

There is a photography competition at my college (and colleges across the nation i'm guessing) and the brief is 'regeneration'. My initial idea was to produce a photo of the same thing but from different angles by hopefully getting access to ophthalmology equipment. It would show the regeneration of cranial nerves and how it affects vision. A big personal project!

However just now i was in my garden and there's 2 of the same type of bushes. 1 is pretty much dead but the other is alive, and we actually buried an old pet here. I found the interesting, but i was wondering if this defines regeneration? I sort of see it as a life after death sort of thing...

Thanks!

Yeah it's not regeneration if they're 2 seperate entities.

Personally I think you should take photos of people in the shower!

If that's what floats your boat then sure thing.

Found the definition as: the act or process of regenerating or the state of being regenerated; rebirth or renewal

Does that help?

Depends how literally you interpet it.

I mean would a picture of a baby next to a gravestone fir the catagory? It has the symbolism?

That's the question I'm asking where we see the symbolism, the judges probably won't see it. Tough call

Interesting theme for your project... I have to admit my first thoughts for Regeneration was Dr.Who! mehehe, dorkside coming out. o_o
Hmm... I think you're in the right area, being in the garden. For example, cutting down a tree and the bare root producing new sprouts.

It reminds me of a famous Japanese haiku, 'The brushwood, Though cut for fuel, Is beginning to bud'.
So, in it's 'death', is new life/regeneration

Good luck with your project ~
