Where to go

Where to go from here. 
I have the next uni year ahead of me, so many paths will open up, so many oppurtunites too take. Which ones though?

Creativity is tough to work through, I need to start from somewhere, start from a seed.

WHY? - stills

These images below or snaps from my new project. Just a little short film. not really a film, I've got no idea what to call it, moving image I guess. It is just a little off shoot of my 'why?' publication. Questioning aspects of life. I took a series of photographs of me and my friend Phil Lazenby sticking up the posters that I screen printed and the idea came from there really. Even though it's a very short piece of footage, I am finding it very difficult to edit and structure because I have no experience in such matters. It's all fun though.

oblivion


To oblivion and back
to reach further than I ever have before
to be surrounded by niether light or dark

this is the unkown
my window to oblivion
my portal to nothing

this could be my future
I think I'll stay inside a while
safe for now

Foot Project

Here is a sneak peak at an ongoing project of mine. At moment it is called the foot project, not a very glamorous name but I haven't given it much thought so far.


It's a continuous photographic project that capturing my feet and the ground. Our feet are our primary source of transportation, according to not very official internet research, we walk on average between 40,000 and 115,000. which is a lot in my book. They get wear and tear, smelly socks, shoes, fashion items, pedicures, toenail polish and more. They are the unsung heros of travel. They interest me.

Floors, ground, surfaces is what feet travel on, they come in all shapes and sizes too. Different colours, different textures, some man-made, some natural.

I am currently not sure of why I started this or where it'll go or lead me or end up. hopefully this project will take me to different places, just like me feet.

If you see this and interested in the cncept, please feel free to e-mail your pictures of your feet too. chris@chris-to-pher.com
