Image Collection Project

This is a in-class project where we will be collecting images we have sourced online. These images should be found, not created by you. Please take a moment to look at the artist below and think about these questions before you begin your collection.

Is there something you collect (physical or digital)? 
I have collected lots of things over the course of my life. Mostly artifacts from different times or places. I have collected licence plates, flags, Pez dispensers, coins, and more.

How does the digital world affect the way we collect? 
It enables us to buy online from around the world, rather than only from a local store.

 Think about the digital collections you have...for example: I have years worth of photographs, a hard drive full of music I haven't listen to in 5 years, resumes dating back to 2001... 
I have lots of digital photos, music, old essays.

Set up collecting parameters (do a search or two to see if it's plausible): What? (swimming pools in Philadelphia) 
How do people around the world react to the Google Street View car photographing them? 

How many? (example 10… less is more because you will be processing each image you collect) 
15

Where to source (must be online - google maps)? Why? (What does this say about you, society, why is this important?)
Google Street View
