surroundings of typography













































































































































































it is quite amazing how much type there is around us that we don't even pay the slightest attention to. my exploration started by taking normal pictures of different type related visuals around me, and then evolved to looking in places that aren't right on the surface, such as the wall behind a dumpster or the back side of the dumpster itself and such , and then evolved again to looking for type placed on very high places (having a big lens allowed me to find things that i really wasn't expecting). in a part of my trip i started collecting photos of house number signs and somehow i felt like they reflected an image about the people living in those houses, it almost felt like there wasn't two identical signs. however, eventually i just used my regular pictures to make my connections for the richness of ideas that could be generated with them.
