Adjust automatic marking as read setting I chose my location this week because of the direction to consider my work's placement in the spectrum and timeline. Also with regard to context, a lot of things have happened relevant to history, the history of photography, and my mental model as affected by taking courses at @academy_of_art. As always, the concept is documenting the changing nature of Cape Cod. I am looking for feedback on the success of the artistic and photographic elements in conveying the linguistic intents of the images in support of the overall concept. This is Corn Hill. I remind everyone that this is not an actual hill, but a sand dune placed here by a massive glacier's meltwater outwash millennia ago. History books tell us that the colonization of America began with the Pilgrims' landing on Plymouth rock. This is untrue. the Pilgrims landed at the tip of Cape Cod where the town of Provincetown stands today. For five weeks, they stayed in this area finding the food stores of the indigenous people and taking them for their survival. The name of this place comes from the corn stores that were stored here by the native tribespeople. This hill was also a background of a Joel Meyerowitz photograph. Seen on the right are the Roseville Cottages. I am standing maybe fifty feet from where Meyerwitz made his exposure, however, the hill is much changed from when he did so. For the purpose of my thesis, the buildings dotting the landscape, the footings of which are carved into the tender sand, have to do with the continually changing nature of the region and the increasing terraforming that affluence brings to the area. #cornhill #truro #modernlandscapes #builtenvironment #socialcomentary #historyofphotography #photographycanon #meyerowitz #hopper #rosevillecottages #capelight #storm #clouds #capecod #capecodinsta #capecodinstagram #capelife #capecodphotographer https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj0XcD0ucAQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
