Initially i had lots of ideas for my waste project but all of them seemed quite literal and after speaking to my lecturers i found that i could make my waste project have a broader outline to it. after brain storming and looking at the waste projects from past years i saw that the usual ideas of waste were not going to be as hard hitting as some of the things i had seen. as the project has to be based in the medway area it was important for me to keep things accessible so i didn’t run into any problems getting to places or not staying in the required area.

my first initial concept was to try and photograph the unwanted tires and the byproduct of the (skid marks on the road) and i had thought about starting to shoot things for this concept quite quickly but i had a meeting with my group and we discussed our ideas and the group came up with a great idea about modifying my concept so now my concept is now the life of tires. i thought that this idea was really good as i could incorporate waste into every aspect of the tires life while keeping it in the medway area.

I intend to photograph tires at every stage of their lifecycle and link every picture to how they are wasted. firstly in a tired shop, then on a car, the on the road , then however i find one abandoned. i don’t want to fill the frame with the subject in this assignment and i think that this will help to convey the feeling of waste well.
