Having just parked my Minimal Project, I was at the gym watching The Art of Photography, by Ted Forbes on Youtube and a project came to mind. Nothing I was watching is linked directly, or even indirectly, to the project I have in mind.
I'm looking at placing a marker on my home, drawing a straight line to a point (shortlist includes Spurn Point, Blackpool, Scarborough). It is likely to be Scarborough because that's where my late father was born and grew up.
I'll be adding markers along the way; I need to work out if I'll be placing them at equal distances, say every mile (70 miles to Scarborough from Leeds) and taking a photograph in the direction of Scarborough. I'm not sure how feasible it will be if one of the points is in someone's garden .
Why, well, I like the sense of order the project has. I like the discipline that it entails. I like the sense of discovery that it will bring me, arriving at places I'd in all likelihood never go to.
One of the things I'm really looking forwards to is arriving in Scarborough.
Factors to consider: cost. Looks to be around £20.00 there and back so, increments of anywhere between a few pence and £20.00 so I won't be taking a photograph every few weeks, maybe one every month. A main factor is the family. I go on quite a few TP meets and get out on my own quite often. I have an Iceland trip shortly and a few other meets. My wife, Jackie, is very accommodating but I don't want to push it.
I'll also be looking at photographing at different times from early morning though the night.
Quite excited really.
Anyway, I won't ramble as I have planning to do.
Cheers all.
