Five Miles From Home is an ongoing exercise in seeing what's already there.
I started this project because I wanted to retrain my eye to find visual interest in what I was constantly exposed to - and therefore blind to - within a five-mile radius of my home.
The work started to succeed when I began noticing the monotonous, when I started to find interest in the ugly rather than turning away from it, or when I started to see that the most monotonous of images could be interesting if you took the time to look and ask questions of it.
Some images are entire frames of a single color: of nothing but grass, a hedge, a road - texture and tone with no specific conventional point of interest. But if you really look, you start to ask questions. Curiosity follows.
Pictures coming...
