The colors in my video are from moving the tint all the way to the left while moving the contrast all the way to the right. Why I have the colors is because I think they show the vibrancy of the city life that I tried to capture downtown.

rough sketch three
Pigeons are funny when they turn in circles. I enjoyed watching them, even though they are disgusting and full of diseases.
rough sketch two
I loved the shape of this building and how the sun ended up reflecting off of my camera.
production strategy
1. After reflecting on your experiences on Drift 1 and Drift 2, and after generating your Ten Questions, specify a promising place in your Drift area you plan to explore in more depth for Drift 3. Make sure the location is precisely identified, if not with a GoogleMaps link, then through a verbal description of what you are trying to find and where. Explain why this site seems promising.
My first two drifts were taken around the eastside/Riverwest area. I thought I would try something new and take my third drift downtown, particularly around Cathedral Square. This site should give me a completely different view from a residential area to more of a commercial area.
2. Describe how you will limit your image capturing activities in order to generate enough quality material with which to work. You can use the same strategies you used for Drift 2, or pick new ones.
What I decided to use for my image capturing strategies was to take pictures looking up and pictures looking down, with nothing really along the horizon line.
3. Describe how you will limit your sound capturing activities in order to generate enough quality material with which to work
What I did with my sound capturing was just clipping my mics onto my bag while walking. This way I would not have to take out my recorder just to capture a sound, I just left it continuously running for about 10 minutes at a time.

ten questions
1.What do you see when you look up?
2.What kind of interesting junk can you find in an alley?
3.What sounds do you hear everyday?
4.Does anyone notice you holding mics?
5.How much does weather affect a drift?
6.Are most of the downtown buildings old?
7.How many conversations can you hear on a busy street corner?
8.How is it different from drifting alone than with a partner?
9.Why are pigeons so fun to chase?
10.How does Milwaukee’s skyline change daily?

drift assessment four
4. Describe your favorite experience, situation, place, or recollection from either of your Drifts. Be specific about what happened, how you felt, how you reacted, and why you think this particular experience affected you so much.
My favorite experience probably was walking around downtown. I had never been in that area before so I was interested to see what was around each corner and down the block. Being surrounded by large buildings also made me feel really small which was kind of a weird feeling, since I grew up in a smaller town. I also loved to watch the different sorts of people that were walking around downtown and hearing the random conversations they are having as they pass by.
