Documentation

I started off this project with the idea of incense and the mark that the left over ash could make on a surface.
Here is the outcome of the first week of documenting. Suggestions for future direction are listed below.
This will be marked at trial 1.
I am not very satisfied with the look I am getting from this documentation technique. In order to move beyond this stage, I plan to purchase an extremely thin piece of fabric, not much larger than this paper. After many incense have been burned, there tends to be a sticky residue smoke stain left behind. I plan to hang the fabric above burning incense (supervised to ensure safety) and document the smoke stains that are left behind even after the incense is done burning. I feel as if this will have more of a meaningful outcome that is outside of my control. 



I was unable to take new photographs with the time given. I am pleased with the outcome of this documentation project. It shows all of the customers I get working as the "to go person" on a Friday night. The individuals vary incredibly as well as their percentage of tips. I wanted to note each and every person that I encounter on a regular night at work.
