Weekly Statement, November 3

A refrigerator is both a private and a shared space. One person likened the question, "May I photograph the interior of your fridge?" to asking someone to pose nude for the camera. Each fridge is photographed "as is." Nothing added, nothing taken away.

30 Days: Minimum Wage - Surrounding the basic notion of the documentary - society evolving beyond a minimum wage and establishing a living wage that allows a person to fulfill their basic necessities - what other ideas can you infer from the documentary that relate to the class? Talk about a living wage, but relate it to the class, not simply ‘everyone deserves to have their basic necessities fulfilled.’ Things to think about: creeping normalcy, individual responsibility towards the environment, reorganization of society, the control of our basic necessities, business concerns and rationales for their actions or lack of action, housing and urban development, cheap food vs quality food, Seventh Generation philosophy, lack of grocery stores in poor/destitute urban neighborhoods,...

Do not feel like you have to rely only on the ideas I put forth.
