Sustainable Prospects PHO704 19/20 Part-Time Study Block S1 A406

Following on from my previous shoot I went out this morning to shoot quite near to the end of A406 near Beckton,it’s a location I have visited before on a previous project which I actually abandoned some years ago.Today I used that knowledge to inform this project,I think it’s finally found a home within what I can see developing into an interesting body of work.Everytime I head out I feel the ideas develop,in this case the idea of journey and migration is coming to the fore more and more,it’s an idea i’m going to research further.With regards to this image unlike the others in the series so far i’m struggling to choose between these two images  that I have edited down from a larger selection,I think they both tell the story within the context of the whole series,it’s really down to aesthetics at the moment ,although I am erring towards the image with more road and the football goals.In case you was wondering my previous abandoned project was to be a series of landscapes influenced by music,in this case this is alledgedly Itchycoo Park made famous by the Small Faces although there is some rumour it could be one other place nearby,It seems most likely though through my research that by all accounts it is this location,named locally because of the abundance of stinging nettles,when the boys played over here as youngsters it nearly always resulted in someone getting stung ! Who knows…I like the story in any case.
