More photos

I decided to take a trip to Brighton to explore the idea of 'The cost of living' and how i could implement this theme into a series of photos. The image above is a rather cliched, post card image but i was attracted to the formational paring on the loungers. I feel this relates to the idea of the cost of living, in a literally, economical way. The idea that it was quite a sunny day and this tourist destination was rather empty and secluded.

I feel this image relates to the idea of 'th cost of living' in more of a physical cost/damage. You can see the wear and tear, rust and scale and decolouration of this boat and i feel with it now being placed iscolated on the beach it suggest it can not function as it did before and has paid the cost' for outdoor, urban life.

In reference to both the image above and below of the bumber cars, i was again attracted to their organised and neat framework. Much like the 'deck chair' image above, the tone i get from this image is one of iscolation, lonliness. Likewise, i feel this mood is caused by the ecomonic crisis of todays society and how the literal 'cost' of living has prevented these bumber cars getting the attention and fun living they were use to.

Following on the theme of the literal meaning of 'cost', like the other image the stacked deck stairs are there due to the lack of tourist expendiature in todays economic climate. I feel a sense of empathy looking at this image due to the sense of expiredness and unwantedness of the deck stairs all just thrown on top of one another. With my experience of seeing Brighton beach so busy, this is an unusual and unnatural state for the deck charis to be in, and it has been caused by this literal 'cost' of living. I had to up the contrast in post production as i didnt like how dark the original photo was.
