Here is a copy of the sheet about visual resources which Kate gave to our group today. John Davis' email is : j.davis@mmu.ac.uk if you want to email him to see if he'll be there on a certain day/time.
Some interesting things that John mentioned:
- MOVING OUT, as in people start taking photos in and of the art school, then from the school looking out, then moving out from the school but looking back, then away from the school completely looking at different things
- MAPS, they give you the ability to compare the past with the present 
- CONSTRUCTION IS A KEY SIGNIFIER OF CHANGE TAKING PLACE
- EDGES OF BUILDINGS, he kept pointing out these strips of buildings at the very edge of the photograph which I would never have noticed unless he pointed them out. Maybe we don't always see the things that are at the edge, but those are the things which help us see the whole picture of what is happening. 
- BLACK BUILDINGS, which were black because of the quantity of air pollution, smoke, smog... 
- COMMENTS ON THE FLICKR IMAGES, showed that people use and respond to things differently than you may expect them to. Who expected a conversation about tripe? And who thought that comment about tripe would end up being thought about somewhere else like on here?
