The very beginning of mega keen art shiz.

This place:



and later, the discovery of this man: Harry Cory Wright.

The place, Stiffkey- Norfolk, formed the beginnings of determination to create pictures. Grew up here every summer and each time we went I made attempts to take it home with me through drawings, photography, collections of objects. Attempts to capture the place through my own means to keep it with me.
This caused the first elements of using found object but fundamentally recognition of something I wanted to share, recreate, do justice to in aesthetics.

The man. Harry Cory Wright, has in my opinion achieved my young aims in capturing this place. The contraption he uses to create these images, his method in 'photographing the countryside involves reaching in "as deep as you can into the world in front of you" and completely immersing yourself in your surroundings.' I'm aware it sounds hideously conceptual and tiresome to some. Yet I personally love the almost romanticism involved. One man. His camera. The Wilderness. The chance shot to capture the scene/picture. Think its the element of chance, the lack of 'delete' or 'undo'. The link included is one series particularly relevant. Yet further examples and series may be discovered here.
