Today we had our tutorial with Shaun McAllister and because my idea for my pathway project is quite extensive I have already started putting together my research and expanding my ideas. I currently work in a caravan park/country club. It opened in 1982 and someo of the residents that first moved in that year still live there to this day, It was opened by a man called Harold Cowburn who unfortunalty passed away at the beginning of this year (2012) therefore all these residents believe the place to be going downhill. The residents constantly complain to me about the lack of care by the new owner and her lack of know how about running a successful happy holiday camp.
My main influence for this is my favourite photographer of all time called Daniel Meadows he is a Welsh photographer and his all his work to me is fantastic he gets accross a message to his audience, but his work that has influenced me on this occassion is called 'Butlins-by the sea 72' this is where in the summer of 1972 he went and spent the best part of 6 weeks photographing and getting to know the sort of people that went to these sorts of holiday camps. I first saw this work when me and a friend went to the exhibition at bradford media musuem last year.
