Dalian Botanical Gardens 20th October 2008

Now I have collected this work from the lab I thought I would add a few of the images rathert han write too much about the place.  I have a few ideas for new projects from here and want to return to produce a few more images in the more forested area with a tripod.  The first images show exercise sites adapted from the natural environment which is a relevant to my leisure work but I’m more interested in collating images of around 20 of these locations to form a small book speaking about a positive way for an urban populace to embrace the natural without destroying it.

So while those images are the beginnings of that one series, I also have a couple of single images that form the basis of a thought process for other new projects.  I have been wanting to do a piece on pylons for a while now but keep delaying because I see other people publishing similar work so become disillusioned about producing the work but feel this image is of the style I want them to be.  I am interested in how they appear to hide amongst trees and even pretend to be trees as if in some kind of of child’s fantasy.

Lastly for now there is one last image which I have not yet decided how to continue with, whether this and the pylons link together or if this is a separate piece I am not yet sure, maybe they all work as separate typological sets.  I know how I want to shoot the images so maybe I should think more about the presentation when I have produced more of the sets.
