The document outlines a photography experiment to create photomontages using architectural features in Harrogate, UK. Locations that will be photographed include an angel statue surrounded by Victorian streetlamps, the Winter Gardens, Betty's Tea Rooms, and The Cenotaph. Photographs will be taken in a grid pattern from different angles and perspectives. The images will then be combined into photomontages using Photoshop on a Mac computer. The goal is to showcase familiar buildings in unfamiliar ways that people may have never seen before.
