It might be nice to document the dogs that use the park. Maybe take a picture of the dog and take note of its name. or maybe a picture of the dog and its owner together.
The lift from a dog’s perspective?

hmm do we need permission slips for dogs?

Hello I need a hand with a little something…
If you have a bit of spare time, could you please take pictures/film objects that look like faces around/inside the Lift.
And also. Could you ask the security guards to make scary-looking faces and take pictures/film their scary faces?
Id like to do something with this material, and maybe you might like to do something with this too
Cheers guys

Hi,
Originally from Portugal, I graduated from Wimbledon College of Art in 2007 with a Fine Arts degree. The work I make centers around video and photography, and involves experimenting with the boundaries of the documentary format and exploring the fine line between fact and fiction. I find inspiration from the world around me and am particularly interested in capturing the atmosphere and stories associated with real people and places.

I joined Millipede to think a little more about different approaches to documentary and archive making, and to have fun putting these new ideas into practice.

You can watch my film The Fire (15 mins) to get an idea of the kind of work I make. The Fire is an experimental short documenting my family during a gathering at a farm in Portugal to celebrate Easter. It is an atmospheric snapshot of a family, a farm and the story of a tragic fire.
