My Current Idea
• ‘Home And Away’ (working title!)
• Scenes of London and New York
Influences & Inspiration
Henri Cartier Bresson

Influences & Inspiration
Henri Cartier Bresson• Eric Kim’s street photography blog talks a lot about what Henri Cartier
Bresson can teach you about street photography. I don’t agree with everything he says, such as ‘photograph children’, because although it is a nice idea, it’s more frowned upon today than it was then. I also don’t like the idea of ‘no cropping’, and as it’s more geared towards film photography I also want to do more in the the sense of processing/editing my photos.
• I do agree with these points:
· Focus on geometry· Be patient· Be unobtrusive· and most importantly for this project, travel.

Final Outcome
Presented online on a web page.
Possibly a photo blogging platform (Tumblr) I’m hoping to find a theme that will allow me to have a ‘start’ page of two main images, one London, one New York, when either is clicked on, there will be a page of photographs which the user can scroll sideways to view them all.
