One of the other superstitions i wanted to look at was the idea that the number 13 is unlucky. It is one of the most well known and still currently viewed superstitions. My inital photos for this idea was a documentry style of photographing everything i could find with the number 13 on, books, doors, letters, times. Some of the images came out alright i guess, there not overly interesting and very obvious. I do like the use of the depth of feild on the number, which was easy to achieve as most of the numbers are pretty small print. While looking at the images i was thinking that images like this would make a good grid, and would maybe work better cropped squared, so below ive tried some of the better images cropped to a square.
While i liked the cropping of the images, they are all very similar and i need to get out and find more interesting things with the number 13 on them, however i am thinking maybe it is being to obvious with the superstition, one of the things that ive always been sure of is that i didnt wanna be obvious with the imagery that i use and maybe this is? Maybe i could look into creating dyptics from the number '12 and 14' and make it look like the number 13 has been removed, which in some places they still do, refusing to have 13th floors, or number 13 on a road? It gives me something else to think about .
