I have a couple of projects which I am just starting to research/shoot now.  One is very simple and concerns the recession currently underway in the UK and will feature the empty shells of former high street stores.  Not sure if to confine it to just Woolworths, or just one town or to make it a more general thing yet.  Will have to start shooting something this week and see what comes of it.

The other project which I am researching now in order to try and get some funding is concerning light pollution.  This piece will be shot on the Mendip Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the UK but lesser known than places such as the Lake District and Snowdonia despite having a host of attractions unique to the South West.  Purely for selfish reasons i’m trying to take my time researching this because at the moment it is ridiculously cold at night up in the hills, not quite as bad as Dalian but still colder than I would like!
