I have chosen the topic of Ritual as I am intreaged in how some of these artists images relate to ritual studies and how they connect everyday lifestyles with the topic involved.
Michael Wolf:
This image relates to a ritual in a way, one being that in whatever city the image has been shot, that this is a person who has basically the same routine everyday. This is probably someone on their journey home from a long hard working day and they are exhauasted. So in a way the picture does fall into the category of ritual as this person will make this journey almost everyday.
These images are similar to the ones before, because they stick with the urban city theme that Wolf portrayed in the last image.
The last resort: Martin Parr
Analisys.
This image is a bit of an odd one as it is obviously not something that you see on your average day at the beach. You would think that if you went the beach that you would see the people on the actual sand of the beach but this mum and her daughter are just laying behind what looks to be a tank and I have no idea what that could be just sitting there for. Plus, where they are sitting doesn't look completely comfortable.
Bas Jan Ader.
Bas Jan Ader was a mysterious man. He went missing on a tip to sea and no one now knows where he could be or wether he is dead or alive.
Bas Jan was going to embark on a journey on his last and final project.

HOMEWORK
"Everybody is promoting something." - Michael wolf
This quote is true in many aspects. As in my opinion, when someone is taking pictures they are documenting how their day went or what they have been doing on that day. And as soon as you take the picture it becomes something of the past, and wether you choose to document that photograph is a non compulsory option. Some people will have the picture to post on a specific platform such as Instagram, Facebook or snapchat. its not necessarily a bad thing, but I think the message that Wolf is trying to give to people is to live your life to the fullest, and never keep going back to the past to revisit specific moments in time.

This is my first final outcome. This a compilation all of all of the different places that I visited in the summer of 2018. The images consist of The LA Dodgers stadium, the famous Chinese theatre on Hollywood boulevard, and Santa Monica pier. The process of the image was done inside of photoshop.
first I had just all 5 of the images that the outcome consists of and adjusted the size of all of them to fit on one page. Then there was an option to blend the images together. I chose different colour tones for all of the images until it was right and all of them complimented each other.
I chose these set of specific images as these were the places where I had my fondest memories during my time away during the summer. I chose to use the Dodgers stadium as the base because it was the most vast landscape of all the images, and with the huge sky it made it easier to involve the other pictures.
