Household security

19 January 2009

Rather than trying to ignore the unpleasantness of fences and barbed wire, I tried to deliberately focus on the question of how people secured their households.

Here are some visuals that illustrate the range in the neighborhood where we are living.

I like the simple framing you did on all these pictures, but did you experiment with other sorts of framing (as opposed to straight-on, deadpan?)

For what I wanted to show, simple was the right approach. Also, because I only had a street view, I was somewhat limited in choices. A third factor is that in some of these neighborhoods there are security people on patrol on the streets. So, I didn't want to draw too much attention to myself as I was taking the photos.
