Impermanence


I've been reshooting my photos trying to get better angles while shooting and trying get really close up and personal. Though all of them are better photos of previously shot areas there are new ones that are from the animation seminar room. I also thought what was said in class and I'm looking at words that are antonyms for impermanence.

    e.g., forensic information about location — room number, exact dimensions of crack/hole, distance from floor and from nearest architectural feature e.g., door.

    including etymology
