A brief record of facts, topics, and thoughts.
Environments:
Urban, Natural and Nature, and Decay also possibly, maybe Levitation.
Urban:
Here is what I think when I hear the words 'Urban'
Cities, towns, landscapes, buildings (high rise), homeless, graffiti, street dance, signs, dereliction, subways, tattoos and maybe piercings.
For any of these I would go somewhere like Birmingham, Manchester or Leeds and find a skate park, I would ask a random, interesting looking subject to be my basis for inspiration.
I would ask if they would accept for me taking a few photographs of them, by them skating on the ramps and doing tricks and also to take a portrait of them but where the subject is not smiling.
I think this would give the picture raw depth and it would be very intriguing for me.

Natural and Nature:
Here is what I think when I hear the words 'Natural' and 'Nature'
Flowers, trees, grass, lakes, sea, rivers, birds, landscapes and Bones.
For this, again I would probably to go to Judy Woods, but look for more interesting and not decaying trees and elements of them, also the flowers would have to be fresh and beautiful.
I quite like the idea of bones for this too, I thought of it in such a way that if pulled off well it could be beautiful and striking.

Decay:
Here is what I think when I hear the words 'Decay'
Flowers, trees, roots, buildings doors (rust), graveyards, run down trains, dereliction.
For this I think I would go to Judy Woods, just because it is close to where I live and it is quite easy to get too and is very interesting.
I would look at the way the formation of the trees and roots are and picture them in such a way which makes it stunning and captivating. I would also like to go to a graveyard as the tombstones can be very old and some can be poorly neglected which would make for an interesting subject.

Bible Verses:
Here I have chosen a few Bible verses about the chosen environments maybe to put at the beginning of my project when it finally comes together:
John 1:3
Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.
Isaiah 11:9
They will neither harm not destroy on all my holy mountain, for the Earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the Sea.
Some Quotes now:
Here is a few quotes which I particularly like:
John Keats:
The poetry of the Earth is never dead.
Author Unknown:
The Human Spirit needs place where nature has not been rearranged by the hand of Man.
Albert Einstein:
Look into nature, and then you will understand everything better.
