The Barn (first visit) - 20/12/14

I feel like this image almost pays homage to Jem Southam's (below) image of a small bump in the landscape, I wanted to take inspiration from the artists we have looked at together as a group over the past few weeks. I like this photograph a lot; the rubbish heap is in the centre of the frame and blocks the idyllic landscape behind it, creating an obstruction you'd only be used to seeing in urban landscapes; maybe this location and Shrewsbury Street aren't so different after all.

 

Looking at the ground in various locations can lead to some unique studies, the ground at the barn creates an original pattern. 

I find the textures of things around me really interesting, and this close up of wood is similar to the one I took at my original location (below) confirming again that there possibly isn't much of a difference.
