After Friday's tutorial Micheal said he expected more from me and that I the area I was focusing had lots of scope for development. Left there feeling very angry with myself. He was right in saying that I was still waiting for inspiration which was true. And after that tutorial went home and had a good cry once I got that out of my system I decided to start again from scratch. I think the comments I received at the tutorial was justified and it was the kick I needed to get going. I went to library and borrowed this book on creativity and the author said that inspiration only comes from doing!
So I went home and started doing loads of research on ethnic people that I meet in the limerick city when I was taking my photos. I have decided to focus on 5 communities which I think make up majority of the ethnic community in limerick city and they are the Nigerian, Indian, Chinese, Roma and Polish people. In my research I wanted to know what the national flower of the communities was? And what the national animal of these countries was? I also wanted to research their architecture, food, drink, religion and dress. I also got very interested in the textiles from these countries and how they have been translated in the urban environment.
