present these images in the manner of Gerhard Richter’s ‘Atlas’.

Take as many photograph’s as you can about ‘nothing’.
Take 10 beautiful photographs. Then take 10 ugly photographs, document your
results and present them on facing pages of your sketchbook. Write 50 words on
which images are the most successful and why?
