I began to start focusing my idea down to the idea of observation and the spontaneous thoughts that would ignite in my head whilst I am in public spaces. I feel that my observational skills are a lot more acute that others. I seem to have been blessed with an eye for detail and combining this with my enjoyment for observing and watching the world go round me, I tend to notice very odd and peculiar objects, shop names, advertisements, behaviours around me that people I am with will take a while to notice or not even notice at all.
I decided that what better way to use this skill by doing something productive and creating a project of a journey through town, illustrated with my internal spontaneous thoughts. The work of Jonathan Hodgson, as previously stated, helped provide a visual inspiration that matched my idea and after the successful journey through town with a still camera, I set myself a to do list of capturing a similar journey in video form and also capturing an audio recording of me saying aloud my spontaneous thoughts as I moved through the urban space.
