Awkwardness.

I found this website earlier today, capturing the awkwardness in everyday photos. It's pure genius. Definately worth a look. http://awkwardfamilyphotos.com/

YouCanKingston is a project that aims to work with the community to bringing lasting health service benefits to the Cambridge Road Estate in Kingston. The project was hosted by ThinkPublic, they invited people from the Uniiverstiy to join them in there project. We were invloved with painting the logos for the campaign around the estate and doing questionnaires in and around the local area to get more people involved with the organisation. More photos of the project can be seen on the youcankingston flickr site or at: www.youcankingston.com

Our efforts were noticed by the local paper, The Surrey Comet. The article can be seen here:

Well dressed walking man.

Walking through town I saw these signs with added fancy clothing, very nice!


Carpeted Streets?

The local Carpet Cleaning company put all these carpets and rugs out on the surrounding pavement to dry out. It was just very odd to walk past!



Territory.

These photos were for a self initiated project on territory. I decided to look at how people define the boundaries of their property, it reflects how the owner wants to come across to the oter residents. Some are proud, some private and some just don't care. See more on my flickr page, through the link...

Tourist Behaviour.

I spend alot of time in London, as its my hometown. I love watching the tourists to see how they behave whilst sightseeing. This has led onto another project about 'The Visitor' which plays on the fact that, no matter how far they have come to see London they spend the minimum amount of time at the tourist attractions. This link to Flickr shows more of my photos.

Magical Mystery Tour!

A University trip where we were not told the destination! We just got on the Coach and found out when we got there! We passed through Southwold then, ended up in Sheringham, Norfolk. We did a few projects about being on the edge of the country, by the sea! All in all a good few days by the sea, fish and chip anice cream! See my Flickr page for more photos...
