Thesis Statement

This project is a collage of photos and songs that combines my personal connection to different artists' music with the vast scenery of Cambridge that connects to me. This project is important because it allows me to express myself in a way that communicates my character more fully than other methods could. How I did this was by exploring different parts of cambridge trying to find and capture photos That I felt a connection to my character in some shape or form. After taking those photos I listened to and picked different songs that I felt matched the tone of the photos. The spotify scan codes, which are codes from Spotify which give access to a song through scan codes, are one of the distinctive features of this project. The user can, can scan the code under a song and listen to it for themselves. Then, some important information is how each picture was edited to improve it by adding more texture and detail.Also, every picture was captured using an optical zoom lens to capture the entire structure of each image, with some shots being taken at a very Large zoom, and some with smaller zoom.
