It has become clear that Photography does not exist in a vacuum. It compliments and enhances many other disciplines. For instance, medicine uses photography as a form of reference, and it is used document architecture and art.
I was impressed by a couple of the collages I was shown, as they hark back to two of the periods of the evolution of art I enjoy the most, namely DaDa and the punk movement of the 1970s. I must say I had never even considered collage, but I can see the challenges it creates now.
I want to highlight the way science can play a part in creative photography. Since it's invention, people have been fiddling about in dark rooms, pouring chemicals and experimenting with new ways to create photographic images.
I want to do much the same, but not with chemicals, with light. I am fascinatede by the way light can be manipulated, polarised and coloured to create stunningly beautiful images.

And one of my own efforts,
Disturbance 1
This image was made using Leds, a long exposure and music to create the pattern. I will be making a series of these to see if there are any similarities in pattern within a certain genre of music. So this uses three disciplines rather than two.
To sum up, photography finds itself linked with many other disciplines, for many diverse reasons and serves to augment and enhance those disciplines.
