emily- the first image is very interesting and my favorite of the three. i really enjoy the changes in elevation in the land. i also like the differences in the color of the land in the different elevations along with the gravel. i enjoy seeing the different layers in the image going from sky, to trees, to the darker land, to the lighter land, and then gravel. it gives you many different textures to please the eye.
I like the idea of you exploring alternative methods of presentation, especially the concept of you using recycled wood. I think rather than contradicting your point, this will serve as a visual representation of a solution you are proposing... or encouraging. I also think could work if you printed on the wood, with that alternative process we discussed in class. It might be helpful to do a test to see if this degrades your images at all, or if the emphasis on the material is adding to the overall presentation.
I think what Paul suggested in the last critique about turning this into a time based series could help strengthen it allot. Take a look at the work of Mark Klett (www.thirdview.org) as I feel this would be most informative to your work. As far as marking your spot goes, the easiest way would be to get a cheap gps. However, if you did not want to spend the money, there are a few other methods. First would be to get a USGS Topographic Map of the quadrangle you are shooting in. This should only cost a few bucks, and then pick up a map measurer from a camping store. With these you should be able to plot the places you are shooting from. Also ever county has the plat maps of the construction sites at city hall, you should be able to get copies made for 50 cents or so. With the plat map, you could plot your location with even more accuracy than the USGS map. I hope that helps.
