Ideas Ramblings

I wrote in my statement of intent that I want to explore W.M.C's and the likes but I dont want to just make another typology. Which I add here is what is currently appearing to be happening as I make my way down a wonderful route of clubs from one side of Leeds to another. I am photographing them and making notes about them exactly as if I was sourcing places from which to create a collection of images focusing on one particular subject. Which I think i stated in my evaluation or something like that that I definately did not want to carry on doing this. I wanted to be free to wonder around to take images, to phsyically explore the landscape as well as visually exploring it, especially seen as my last project was confined to a very small area in which to work which I did not feel as comfortable working within. Instead I would much prefer to find a really interesting area and focus on that. I was going to see what Skelmsdale is like as it is associated with the new town planning acts that featured in my last project (linking work = photographer with a brain) (maybe) (more like someone whos more grounded and less all over the damn place, which clearly you will never achieve - have you read this?) however recent finance sorting and excel headfuckery i found out i cant afford to drive to Skem once, nevermind weekly.. plus, think of the miles...! (That actually makes it more appealling I've found having processed what I've just written. How disapointing.) So yes, I would like to come up with a project that is feasible to achieve, preferably near the pool so i can photo it a lot with minimum expense and maximum possible access time and also have some fab concept (I know, right. dream on. you'll never manage this one before you've shot the images) that preferably links to my dissertation and/or my previous project that is visually stimulating and accessible to a wider audience than me.





UPDATE: So contrary to this im charging full steam ahead with the W.M.C's project...


.. IT WILL NOT BE A TYPOLOGY.


is there any point in fighting this? maybe i could make typologies of all the things people seem to be forgetting about.
