Ideas
-Firstly I started by thinking about change. This is a very broad concept to be looking at but was a good starting point as it got me thinking about change throughout the world and our own country.
-At first when I thought of change I was drawn to the idea of development. London seemed the best place as it is always developing, is close so would be easy to get to to photograph and there are many interesting areas that could be suitable to photograph.
-I found by looking at development that I just ended up researching the most common buildings in London that are frequently photographed. This lost my interest as I hope to create images with a story behind them and not just post card prints.

- I started typing London - 1980, 1960 etc until I reached 1940 which caught my eye. This was during the second world war and London was the main target of the blitz. London looked so different when up in smoke and I find the historical aspect quite exciting.
-Inspired by these images and my first pastiche task in this project I have decided that I want to find photographs that were taken of buildings and areas that were damaged during the blitz, go to the same places now and photograph what is there now. I hope to take thie image in a similar way but obviously it will not always be possible to be accurate as much has changed over the years so I may just have to photograph what is there now.
