This receipt is showing the increase in the expenses we are paying due to the huge amount of waste that is produced in our environment. Therefore the use of natural resources in our everyday life must be accompanied by serious efforts to reduce, reuse and recycle these materials.

Never ending sunset- Light Pollution

Dangers of Light Pollution: Nature: animals confuse artificial lighting for moon and disrupt their natural cycles Human: Circadian Rhythms- Controlled by ‘Ganglion cells’ found inside the eye, controlling the sleep/ wake/ eat cycle + Behavioural functions + pupillary light reflex (dilation of the pupil)- how much light enters the eye and how much we perceive. Ganglion cells have a peak absorption rate of around 480 nM wavelength (blue light) In short: Wrong colour temperature bluish light pollution has greater effect on our sleep/ wake/ eat cycles (circadian) + Behaviour functions Installing too powerful lighting instead of finding the proper low wattage to produce an adequate amount of luminosity results in light pollution from the reflected surface just under the light source. Waste of electricity to light unused spaces.

​I chose waste disposal as my theme for my assignment because I am a environmentalist and I have always wanted not only to keep the environment clean but also to show people how I can shed light on this problem by using photography. My work is to show people how waste disposal is hurting not only us but also the world we live in. By myself using my own mother to symbolize mother nature while a person throws waste onto her will give the viewer a strong feel of human nature over shadowing nature.

Obstructions

The short film is about how the overdevelopment in Malta affects the daily routine of a young man. The amount of noise disrupts his daily life whether it be eating with his family, getting ready for the day ahead or just doing an errand. The problem of overdevelopment is so bad that it causes him stress and panic as he lies awake at night only to hear the sounds of construction echoing in his mind making him numb to his surroundings. He decides to get away from this craziness and chaos in the city and goes to the countryside where he finds peace and quiet. For a while, he has found a safe haven, until a construction crew worker comes and gives him a paper which lets him know that the property will be built on and that he must leave. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHP8LpOKp20
