Today i went round leeds taking pictures. instead of taking pictures of something imparticular, i just pressed the camera button every so often without looking what i was capturing. the idea behind this is to go back to the images and finds things in these images i have captured that i did not notice then and there, a moment that i will never see again.
i found the process of taking the pictures very uncomfortable, at times i felt very rude taking pictures of people and i felt i was making them uncomfortable also.
though i have a few pictures that i feel have captured moments people can relate to and take comfort in the commonalities, I'm not happy with the quality of some of them, because i felt uncomfortable taking them, i took the photos quite quick therefore the focus on some is out of place.


my friend Will is studying Photography, so i asked him if he had taken any photos around leeds or in a public place that i could look and find special moments in.
i really liked these 2 images below, i feel many people can relate to the family picture, a busy day, walking to school, doing the family shop,etc, because it is so repetitive, and 'ordinary everyday' we don't see look to see beauty,humour, nostalgia, in it,  i immediately think back to my childhood with my siblings.
