Catonsville is a town in Maryland.
Psychogeography was defined as defined in 1955 by Guy Debord as the "the study of the precise laws and specific effects of the geographical environment, consciously organized or not, on the emotions and behavior of individuals."
Colors are a large part of the psycogeography of an area.
The angle at which you took this picture has a strong appeal in the way the orange is so plain and unwritten on whereas you have a sign in the background full of names and ads. This captures pyschogeography in that we don't look hard enough at what we try to keep simple as oppossed to what we write all over and gives people a new insight on that.
The point of this assignment was to "heighten our awarness of space and the world around you". In this case the environment around me was Fredrick Rd. in Catonsville. On Fredrick Rd. I took pictures which summerize the color sceems of the area.
