Hello!

Righty, the Town Photo Experiment is actually a nice way of seeing cities throughout the world through the eyes of the people that live there.

Each person has to take 10 photographs using any equiptment desired and using any style they like. Each photograph must fill the one word brief and reflect the city they live in from their point of view. The 10 briefs are:

01: Welcome
02: New
03: Old
04: Population
05: Transpotation
06: Love
07: Work
08: Secret
09: Landmark
10: Goodbye

Rules:
Everyone is welcome to enter and please only one photo per category. You can write a bit about each picture if you like but you don't have to.

This was created by a person on another forums I post at, and he wants to display the pictures taken on a website. If you don't mind me using your photos on another website (if it gets created), then please explicitly say so on your post. You will be credited and of course you will be told the address of the site. Get snapping! Get snapping!

What a great idea Gleri (another one I might add)

I'll be doing this using my camera phone.

Can we have the URL of this other location, and also will we be acknowledged on this other location?

I like the idea. I'll be out with my camera later in the week.

To be honest, the website hasn't even been created yet, and I don't think it will. So, I think this experiment will just be about people on here. It'll be great to see how people show where they live. I've also posted this on the Canadian forums, so have a look over there as well.

Just keeping this thread alive, I've got about six or seven of the pics done. Just need a few more.

Gonna take me a while to do this as time is tight but i will get some done.

Well I finally have them all. I couldn't quite get photos of all the things I wanted to include, so I had to grab a few of them off the web. Hope that's allowed.

My town is Marlow, in Buckinghamshire. I actually live just outside Marlow now, but I still work there.


Picture 1 - Welcome



-----------------------------------
Picture 2 - New



These offices are next to where I work. They are owned by Volvo.

-----------------------------------
Picture 3 - Old



St. Peter's Church is not the oldest building in Marlow, but it's fairly close. The exact date of construction is not known, but is thought to be in the 13th century.

-----------------------------------
Picture 4 - Population



I was unable to visit the Marlow regatta this year due to illness, but I found this great pic on the web.

-----------------------------------
Picture 5 - Transportation



The weir and part of the mooring area, with the bridge in the background.

-----------------------------------
Picture 6 - Love



This is the house I used to live in. I shared it with four friends after leaving uni. We had some great times there. Sadly it's now been bought up by a developer and replaced with five boring identical box-houses.

-----------------------------------
Picture 7 - Work



This is the office where I work. The building is nothing special, but at least it looks nice in the snow.

-----------------------------------
Picture 8 - Secret

Unfortunately many of the secret things I know about Marlow are not photographable, and a few of the pics I have got would not really be suitable. So this one is the view from my old house. It's not really secret, but it doesn't exist any more. I pieced together the panorama from three seperate images, so if you see any odd looking bits, that's why.
(The Invision board doesn't seem to like horizontal scrolling so click on the image to open it separately)

-----------------------------------
Picture 9 - Landmark



Marlow's landmark is its famous old bridge. One of the oldest suspension bridges in the world. It was built in 1829, as a prototype for the Széchenyi Chain Bridge across the River Danube in Budapest.

Picture 9 - Goodbye



I posted this one back in February. Not sure it says 'goodbye' but I think it's a great, timeless image of rural England.

Excellent post DPL! Thanks for that...I will be working on mine shortly
