I went into Huddersfield today to take some photos of liminal spaces that fit into my project. I wanted to take some good photos of roads as I didn't have any that I liked. I realised that what I liked about Jeff Brouws' photos of roads, the emptiness and sense of distance, would be hard to get as we don't really have large roads that are completely empty in Britain (Brouws' work is set in America). I took a few photos of roads but either couldn't get that sense of perspective and distance that makes the image interesting or there were too many cars which distracted from the liminal zone of the road itself.
I did however like any of my photos in which a road stretches under a bridge. I like how the bridge brings in another element of liminality to the picture as you have the empty space between the bridge and the road.

My project at the moment is kind of split in two. I'm looking at liminal zones themselves such as roads, railways and other environments but next to that I'm also looking at people who are waiting and thus are in the liminal zone of being between doing things. These two sections can't really cross at the moment since one of the main thongs I like about the zones themselves are a lack of people. When I was in town I drew a sketch of a road, trying to figure out how to make the composition interesting if I couldn't get a stretching perspective angle on it. The bit I was drawing had many traffic lights and I soon got a lot more interested in the people waiting to cross the road (like when I drew the bus stop). This lead to me doing a series of drawings from life of people waiting at traffic lights.
