For my Drift Two walk, I will be starting at the 26 hundred block on Maryland. This will be at the corner of Park and Maryland. From this point I am just going to start walking in a directing that I have not been to yet. This means taking allies, streets, and going places where I have not been yet. The hope in this is to find things I would not otherwise have found and to explore. I think this will also help me with the recording because I do not want to film things that I have already seen. I chose this approach because in drift one I new most of the area that my drift strategy lead me into. But with drift two, this open approach will suite my project better with the opportunity to explore places I have not seen.
For this walk I am going to take snap shots of my entire walk. And from these snap shots I am going to create a a film from my experience. I am only go to take pics from my waist level, not seeing what I'm taking a picture of or I am going to point down at the ground to take the pictures. I feel that not being able to look at the scene or composition allows accidents to happen and allows me to take pictures of anyone or anything with out them knowing. In drift one I was shy to record strangers conversations and I feel the same way with taking there pictures. This way them not knowing it make the process much easier to control. I got this idea from a New York City photographer who uses a range finder camera take pictures at his waist level and later develops the film to see if he captured anything. I was inspired to do this by Gary Winnagrand and Lee Freelander, who are two photographers that do this technique.

Sound Walk 1 Area Map
On our first walk, our lap ground went out of Mitchell hall and went north, and turned left past the music building. Then heading west we took another left past the music building heading south toward the union. With in the union we went past the food court, and made our way up the the 3rd floor and then then came back down. Once we were down on the ground floor, we meet in our group again, and took time to do our sound body map. After we finished our maps, we headed out of the union towards Kenwood blvd. Heading east down Kenwood, we turned left on the walk way heading back toward Mitchell Hall. Once everyone got back into the room is when the walk ended.
