The project...

The first 3 weeks of my project I feel I wasted too much time on the wrong idea. I wanted to display "my world" and the people in it through objects of significance.

After posting a bad photo onto my blog and going off on a quick random tangent and taking some landscape photographs I was made to realise that these particular images were my strongest.

Throughout the third week of this project I kept denying to myself that these were the stronger images and best idea to go with until the last seminar where I was looking again at the two routes my work had taken and decided that my landscape images were better and more enjoyable for me to do.

The final 6 images I have taken don't look quite right altogether they are more 2 sets of 3 images. But these images all represent "my world" and places which have significance to me. The three brighter images in the park are from the arboretum in Nottingham this is a place which I love to walk around when I want to take my mind off things, I have nothing better to do or just whenever I feel like it. The second three images are from a journey back to my boyfriends house in Tamworth. This is a journey I used to do every week with him so became part of my weekly routine and took me back to a place I considered a home from home from home. 

Overall I have really enjoyed this project, it's made me realise how much I love colour in photographs and how I thoroughly enjoy taking landscape images even if they aren't that amazing. 

Blogging for this project has really been a plus in my opinion. At the beginning I found it heard to get going and keep up but after a while I have found it has been so valuable with more and continuous feedback from anyone who has viewed my images something I wish I could have had for other projects so am definitely up for keeping this blog going. 

The 6....

These three images are from the arboretum in Nottingham somewhere I love to go just to relax and take my mind off things.

These next three images are images that I took on the journey to my boyfriends house.

Final images...

Here are the 15 images that I have managed to narrow done for my final images but I still need to narrow it down to about 6 or so. Comments and so on would be very welcome to help me narrow it down some more. Which do you think work? Which fail as a composition etc? Would be very much appreciated as I can't seem to narrow it down anymore than this. Thanks guys

More development....

Some more photos I have taken. Not so sure if I like these ones. The colours in them are bold and eye catching but the compositions don't seem to work as well as the images in my previous blog post. 

A different route......

After today's seminar I decided to go straight out and take photos and try and get a better aesthetic photograph so here are a few of the photos. I think the first image isn't very strong at all as the sun was too bright and the sky ended up just looking white as with the last image but I think the other two are quite successful.

A few photos in response......

These images are just a few quick photos in response to the photographers work posted in the previous blog by Martin Parr, William Eggleston and Joel Meyerowitz. 

The images aren't very selective composition wise but I love the boldness of the colours in them.

I have chosen to add these images to my blog as to me they are very strong and bold in colour which I would like to try and incorporate into my work. 

????????

These images are just attempts from my  bedroom window at getting something more aesthetically pleasing. However I don't feel this has worked at all and I need to go out and take some proper images with a better subject matter. 

More photos....

Some more photos...this time objects that represent my world. In these photos there are things that represent my day to day life and my hobbies.

These next couple of photos represent my world with one of the people in it. These are objects that remind me of him or us.

Time to actually get some development up...

After the first weeks work I decided to go off on another idea just to quickly experiment and see whether it could work for this project.

In the first week I looked just at my world and the people in it. I started off this week looking at my world and places I go. In this blog I'm going to post some of these photos which represent my world and the places I go. 

The first set are from around Nottingham. Things, places and people around the city centre that have captured my eye. 

These next photos are from the car journey from my halls in Nottingham to my boyfriends house. This is a journey I do every week and these are some photos of things I pass which catch my eye.
