Journeys and Pathways

For our photography exam, the theme we will be looking at is Journeys and Pathways. Any journey, whether long or short, can yield a wealth of resources for an artist or designer. This theme can be interpreted in many ways, from actual physical journeys from one place to another or a metaphorical journey, maybe following someone who’s trying to achieve something, ect.

Some suggestions I could look at:

• Cars, trains, planes, boats, coaches, bikes, ect.
• Hiking, camping, caravanning, hotels.
• Obsessions, desires, pursuits, achievements.
• Oceans, rivers, canals, motorways, bridges, corridors, staircases, packed lunches, service stations, mobile cafes, drive-thrus, airport lounges, bus stations, train stations.
• Escapism, fantasy, science fictions, books, comics, quests.
• Tracks, footprints, jet trails, bow waves, oil slicks.
• Detectives, clues, pursuits, bloodhounds, foxhunting, treasure hunts, geocaching.
• Internet, optic fibers, cables, communications, text messages, emails.
• protest marches, processions, pilgrimages.
• Adventure trails, treks, mazes, maps, tunnels.

Starting ideas I have at the moment:

• Following someone’s journey on a bus or train.
• Photos of animals running or flying somewhere.
• Camping
• Footprints on sand/mud.
