After splitting my initial photographs into three different groups it has given me a clearer idea of where I want my project to go. I really like the three images I produced that connect to the work of Gursky but feel there isn't enough depth behind that idea to make a whole project out of it. Also finding buildings with that amount of repetition is very difficult when restrained to a specific area.
The work of Stephen Shore in 'Uncommon Spaces' could be a good route for my project to follow, documenting areas that have fallen unnoticed to the public gaze and have become quite ram-shackled. These areas would be close to residential and common public areas but just behind them where the public rarely visits, as this would allow random collection of objects to gather making the scenes look obscure and unusual, following closely on with the theme of 'uncommon spaces'.
While following on with the idea of uncommon spaces I don't want to just look at the space itself with none of the public. I want to see how the public interact with these unusual spaces, using Eggleston's work to inspire the more social side of this project.
So for my next shoot I'm going to travel back to Swinton and photograph these peripheral areas and document the unusual findings, while still thinking about how to public interact with the area.
