I liked the ideas presented by the Boyle family when exploring different elements of the ‘journeys and pathways’ subject. The images produced tell a story of the photographer going on a journey, instead of having a model or exploring the conceptual ideas of a journey. The roads and pavements show not only how people travel (either walking or driving on the road), but the literal journey of the photographer. There is a strange reality to the images that make them seem relatable, as they are simple subjects that you see everyday, but never take into account the detail or abstract nature of the lines and symbols painted on the road, or the cracks in the pavement that everyone walks over without a second thought. There is a history in each photo, whether its the leaves in the grate of a drain, or the fading yellow lines parallel to the pavement, each picture shows a neglected slab of ground that nobody else thought to pay any attention.
