Project 1: PLACE - new shots

This set of photos were taken during the morning. While at the site, I had time to contemplate the concept a bit more and came to the conclusion that the playground was simply a transition point for those too old to play there. So my series has become more of a story about the threshold between childhood and adulthood (adolescence).


These are my selection from today's shoot. I focused on the possible entry ways (pathway to playground) and exits (pathway out of playground) and how this would be interpreted by other viewers in terms of my concept.





I hope to end up with a series of 4 photos but still not sure how to convey the entrance and exit.

1) Suburbia is vast, attention focused on the playground while everything else appears busy and chaotic. The playground blends in with the surroundings - suggestive of the subtle threshold between childhood and adulthood (adolescence).

2) Entrance to the park, introducing childhood.

3) Approaching the wondrous "perfect" world. (Circular, central, enclosed, inviting)

4) Realising when really, looking back out into the "real world" it's not so scary after all. It is a new and different path, no longer direct and straight forward.

5) Straight forward route out of the park. Same way in, same way out.
