As i am already collaborating with Will for his FMP (Documenting bradford) he returned the favour and offered to collaborate with me for mine by photographing the elderly people i interview and surrounding areas.
i have worked with Will a couple of times now, our work compliments each other well as we both aim to capture elements of everyday life that may get ignored- such as people in their everyday environments.
on arrival to Plumbtree hall there was a lot fewer residence then i expected - 6 but only 4 came to talk. however i was optimistic this would be better as it could work out as a informal chat and i would potentially have a more in-depth conversation with whoever wanted to speak to me.
as it was a group discussion i recorded it on my phone and later listened back and made notes on each person who told me certain stories about their past.
only 2 people really spoke, john who i have met with before and Joseph.
unfortunately Joseph didn't want a photograph or to be part of my project as he didn't like his photo being taken. this was quite annoying as i spent alot of time speaking to Joseph and although it was interesting, i could of spend the time finding more about john or another resident who was willing be get involved.
