Fourth Trip - Moving away from the Fosse Way

This trip was quite an eventful one! I have decided that, although the Fosse Way has provided me with a collection of chequered signs, there is not a huge amount of potential for more subjects to shoot. As a result, I am developing the project onwards and shooting on nearly every journey I go on around the UK. This time, despite bad weather and poor map reading I travelled through the Peak District.

I decided to emulate Coekin's self portraiture ideas, and stood next to the van with my passenger. I also took a more candid approach to photographing my passenger, and photographed whilst driving to try and get a variety of shots and styles. Despite the bad snow I feel that some of the shots were quite successful. I particularly like the shots through the windscreen and windows as they give the photographs a sense of motion and progression.

The other thing this shoot provided me with was the variation of conditions. We hit fog on the way back, and as I am slowly building up and collection of road travel related imagery, a variety of conditions and weathers in the images is important, and fully encompasses my experiences driving around the UK.
