Inspiration

I find quotes, words, lyrics very inspirational and have always been able to visualise easier with text involved. So I decided to look into quotes about roadtrips, driving and journeys for inspiration and also that could potentially be put with some of the images I intend to shoot.

"All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware." - Martin Buber

"The road of life twists and turns and no two directions are ever the same. Yet our lessons come from the journey, not the destination." - John Williams Jnr.

"Too often travel, instead of broadening the mind, merely lengthens the conversation." - Elizabeth Drew

"No one realizes how beautiful it is to travel until he comes home and rests his head on his old, familiar pillow." - Lin Yutang

"A journey is best measured in friends rather than miles" - Tim Cahill

"Too often we are so preoccupied with the destination, we forget the journey" - Anonymous

"I hoped the trip would be the best of all journeys, a journey into ourselves" - Shirley MacLaine

"Journeys end in lovers' meeting; every wise man's son doth know" - William Shakespeare

"Life is a journey that must be traveled no matter how bad the roads and accommodations." - Oliver Goldsmith

"One always wonders about roads not taken." - Warren Christopher

Below is the inspiration spider diagram, I'll start exploring more of the photographers and inspiration sources now. I will also be going on a short road trip to experiment and make some images. I'm travelling to London on Friday and intend to make a series of stills from this.
