Diaries of a photographer...part 5

Been a while since I wrote up my diaries of photographic truth...so here goes with a multi post catch up session.

13:50 - Staying loco down in aca-Brighton today. Had an idea for the project involving subverting images of popular landmarks etc and so wanted to try it out.
Doing digital images for ease to see how it works. The idea is to take ugly shots of things and places etc which are considered to be picturesque, historic or symbolic or beautiful and all that Jazz.
What better subjects to test it on than the pier and the pavilion? I was getting bogged down in my project and not feeling many images were conveying what I wanted and so wondered how this would work out.
ALso I am thinking that a multitude of styles may be the way forward? Had a talk by Stephen Gill this morning and he got me thinking about the traditional aesthetics of photography and how bodies of work can be made. perhaps a multi tacked approach with images of different styles might form a more holistic vision of my concept.
The problem may be maintaining some form of consistancy so it fits together as a piece, but that may be more an issue when editing.
