I accidentally put a 35mm film through my camera twice. I kinda like the results. Since finishing my BA (Hons) at university this year, I felt that I wanted to take a break from photography. But since I found Owen Martin's work on Linkedin yesterday, I've been inspired to be creative again. I also haven't been feeling too good lately and being creative always helps. The images I've uploaded are my way of beginning to delve into the recesses of my mind to form an idea for a new project. These images may eventually have no bearing on the final concept, but I have to start somewhere and this is as good a place as any.
I'm wondering if these relate in some way to my life as it has evolved over this past year. They are a little confusing to look at, they have lots of detail, having put the film through the camera twice the pictures are right way up and upside down. Relating this to my life, I have moved after living in Plymouth for 26 years, this has been more stressful than I thought it would be. I did my final year of the BA in Swansea and missed the college and my friends in Plymouth. The dissertation was very difficult to write though I achieved my highest grade of the year for it. My daughter moved to Wales with me but she decided to move back to Plymouth and I miss her. Taking everything into account, I think that yes maybe, these pictures have unintentionally played out the story of my subconscious.
I like the mixture of colours ... the top one is a view of Tenby and some flowers from a garden that has formed a picture of my home surroundings. I am fortunate to live near the sea and be surrounded by countryside.
A Welsh Sweet shop in Tenby relate to my love of sweet things(!) and the choices and decisions I have to make. In this image I like that the sky is at the bottom and looks like the people are walking on it.
There's an organic feel to the third picture. A table and an apple tree. My love of food especially freshly grown organic food.
