The first step...

It's mid day in Aberdeen.  I have never been here before and I will leave soon.
I wandered not to far from the train station looking for a place that had direct sunlight. It's autumn and the wind has blown dead leaves and twigs from the trees.  It's a time of change - out with the old. 
I started collecting these twigs then I noticed that someone had gathered a pile of stones and left them on this ledge.  Lots of people are here around this ledge to wait for buses, have a cigarette break or just to rest their legs. I wonder did some bored child make a game of collecting which had to be abandoned when it was time to move on?
I am thinking about my forthcoming journey and wondering how it will manifest itself.  I will not be in a straight line, nor a zig-zag.  I will be where I am invited and I have no idea where I will be invited to. It is a daunting journey with a heavy bag on my back.  I have decided to make sun prints in autumn, it will not be easy.

    Cyanotypes

    I chose  cyanotype as a method for documenting to capture a specific aspect of the places I visited using a technique that I could use whilst on the move.
