In our first few weeks of university, we were set different projects for each specialist subject; Photography, Graphic Design and Illustration. In photography, we had to photograph our first impression of Birmingham. Since I didn't really know how I felt about Birmingham at first, my first impression of it was the size and how busy it was. So my instinct told me the best place to capture this was New Street Station. I thought that by photographing New Street, I'd be able to show lots of different people doing lots of different things, going lots of different places. I think the fact that one of the figures in my photograph is transcending into a blur shows how quickly life in a big city goes. I also desaturated the image because to me Birmingham is a bit of a blur, very fast moving and very black and white. Even now it's not my favourite place to be, but if it helps me get to where I want to be, I can stick it out.
