Unit 9 work so far.

I have been out and about photographing the local bus stops, I get a few funny looks but I am getting used to this by now. My idea is to photograph Bus stops from in and around the Oldham & manchester areas, from rural saddleworth to inner city Miles Platting and Moston. In the hopes to do a social documentary project, presenting the final photographs as a large tableaux style typology. In theory this sound's interesting. It is to provide evidence of the social demise of an area through the state of its Bus shelters. Here are some pf the edited images taken so far:

Problems: 

• Keeping my car out of the reflections
• Grain in images due to poor lighting conditions on some of the days (will need tripod).
• Distance from Bus stop to otherside of the road, especially in rural areas, very narrow space and sometimes cannot get in the whole of the area to be photographed.
• Finding them empty.

Enjoying this project and so far I haven't found anyone else with a similar body of work. As it is a typology i am working in colour, however I am attempting to keep my work inline with the typologies of Bernt and Hilla Becher.
