  1. I don’t really get a “routine” vibe from these, but I like the repetition. I don’t feel personally comfortable with seeing so much on the screen, because it doesn’t seem like it’s in order, but that’s really it. I don’t know if I would do a composite image, but I wouldn’t mind trying it out.

  2. No theses photos don’t really look like a routine to me. But there’s defiantly repetition in the photos.
    It’s a bit weird and different. Me personally i don’t like it and i feel like it’s a little to much.
    With these images i don’t really get a lot of ideas besides having a lot of one thing in a photo.

    Yes, The routine part i find in the picture is that the planes have to go a specific order, where to land, and where to take flight. It kind of hurts my head a little just because it was so scattered and just too much to look at. do more photos with photoshop.

  4. Do these images make you think of routines? Of sheer numbers of cars and planes that we see everyday? What’s it like to see them all at once? What ideas do you get for your own work?

    Yes, these images make me think of routines. I think it’s really interesting to see all of these subjects in one frame. It makes me think of how much we don’t realize how routine our lives are. We do the same exact things over and over again and we don’t cross those uncomfortable boundaries. This gave me an idea to do a similar thing but with people in a common place. Almost like a point of view from if you were people watching but maybe with people we see very often, on the TV, in real life, etc.
