Another mirror shoot

After a frustrating couple of weeks where for various reasons I couldn't take any images, I was desperate to get this project on the ground again.

Although I'd prefer to be continuing with the themes of abandon
ed and ruined cars, I did get the oppurtunity to take some more continuing with my mirrors theme, which caught my eye due to the snow and the change in the weather.

Below is a contact sheet of all the images and several of my favourites from them.

I like these images, I feel they are different to the mirror ones I've shot previously and believe the weather is a big factor in this, which is a nice change. I find the snow and ice very inspiring and since it changes the entire dynamic of travelling it's interesting to document this.

I think for now, I'm going to wrap up the idea of mirrors, in terms of taking photos. I feel I have taken plenty, however, I might look at sequencing these images together in terms of a video. Because the whole collection I have were taken over a number of journeys, on a number of roads and in different weather conditions, I think making a video that mixes them up could be interesting and tell its own story.

I was thinking of what I could do for the audio and was thinking the video could be appropriate for a narrative. Someone's voice over the top reading a poem, or a letter, or even mixing that idea with clips of radio for the different journeys. I'm very interesting at mixing in audio with this particular idea, and perhaps even text recalling 'memories' or things that stood out from each journey.
