More Norwich street photography

Here are some more shots I've taken in Norwich recently in order to submit entries to the weekly instruction for the Street Photography Now project - a year-long exercise in street
photography now into its 21st week.

Lowestoft photo shoot, February 5th

I had a multi-purpose bus trip to Lowestoft via Great Yarmouth. In terms of thphotography content, there were two aims - find and photograph the Lowestoft lighthouse, and take pictures in response to this week's instruction from the Street Photography Now project (instruction 19: 'Expose the banalities of the new urban landscape' from George Georghiou). I would search for his work and have a serious look, especially the two series shot in Serbia. He has exxplained that he hadn't meant this to be an exercise in urban landscape photography, but rather it was one to explore the interaction and dissociation between people and planned public space - how they can move throuth airports, shopping centres, presumably public transport as well, and dissociate themselves from contact with others.

The lighthouse shoot is for my entry in the annual Trinity House lighthouse photography competition. Each time I've tried taking pictures for this project I've not been blessed with the most interesting light, and today was no exception. Now it's a question of picking my entries and submitting before the end of the month. Still quite a way to go with both of these!
