Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

With the close attention to place over subjectivity, the images evoked the situatedness of the image. A prime example of this is the first image of the streets of Redfern in which the element of the medial is used to focus on the foreground rather than the background. It is evident that the street is mainly concealed with moss, bushes, trees, and dirt. However, amongst nature humanity creates shelter, cars, and pathways using the earth’s materials. By seeing the clear relationship of humanity and nature, a harmonious image is generated.
