The other day while walking into town I noticed the tiles on the walls of the subways under the ring road, and though they might be useful in some graphic design one day. Today I thought of a use for them, so I went into town with my camera. I took a load of photos at the first subway, and then walked to the next one to see if it had different coloured tiles. It did, so I took some photos there too. I then walked to the next subway, which was different again.
I ended up walking all the way round the ring road, which took about two hours. I came home with very sore feet and over one hundred and twenty photographs – which would have been rather expensive if I wasn’t using a digital camera. Admittedly most of the photos are rubbish, but a few were okay, and one in particular was very good – but that’s the one I’m going to use in my graphic design, so you only get to see a small version of it here.
You can look at all the photos on the England Photos page.
You could do a lot on those lines. Turn it into some neo-philosophical, social thing. like, for instance, The subways are beautiful, individual, or at least well put together and different yet they are underground, hidden from the eyes of visitors. poor people are hidden from important people’s eyes and yet are all different, all beautiful in the eyes of the lord. You could write a book of similar analogies.
Sorry, i’m just feeling a little deep today.
If you post to my blog and you’re called Andrew, you should put your surname there too. Or at least some indication of whether you’re Scottish Andrew or WEC Camp Andrew. I suppose I could try and work out which one you are from the type of rubbish you’re writing, but for all I know, you could actually be some completely random Andrew whom I don’t know, who just happens to write rubbish in my blog.
As you’ll have noticed, my blog entries all have my surname included, so you know it’s me writing the rubbish.
och aye, whoose it goin doon there laddie? its a braw bricht nicht here right noo.
Yes, it was the wec camp andrew. the whole subway thing was my idea
