Work, Rest & Play
I initially tried to combine the Work Rest and Play theme to follow my flatmate who I lived, worked and went mountain biking with - but this proved to be too complicated when setting up the shots.Another thought I had was to take a photograph of the letters making up WORK, REST and PLAY from signs, markings etc. which I could find outside, but went off the idea as I thought it might not be interesting enough.
I decided to use "Work Rest and Play" to demonstrate the 3 stages of life:
Play = Children
Capturing the essence of youth in children at play, either physically or mentally.
Work = Adults
Capturing adults, some of which worked on the streets, others who used the streets to get to their work place.
Rest = Old Age Pensioners
Capturing the autumnal years as they sit back and enjoy each and every day.
