Walk around Heygate

This photograph nicely sums up my feelings today after having wandered around the Heygate Estate with Claudia and Jackie for half a day. We were trying to find an angle into a community, which we could then photograph and develop our stories from. We spoke to some of the residents (all very camera shy) and tried to speak to the housing association and scribbled down some notes on opening times of churches, gyms, surgeries, an enterprise start-up organisation and some other organisations. This day left me utterly confused and clueless as to what I should photograph with respect to the elephant project. I am not so sure anymore that it was a good idea to change plans and try to do a community based project. Have to do some serious thinking over the weekend.

Well, at least we had a nice lunch at the Heygate café…
