My list about 'going places' is this;
Places I've been?
Wish I'd been to?
In my thoughts, in my dreams?
A journey real or imagined - the journey of a synapse in the brain responding to a stimulus. How would I stitch that?
A map, a bus route, a walk, in the car, in my head?
A good journey or a fearful one?
A professional or a personal journey?
A personal journey about family, children, births, deaths, marriages, sickness?
Anywhere? Everywhere? Where?
Peru, India Africa, USA, Canada, NZ, Bosnia, or holidays with family in Europe or in the UK?
What?
Labels and tickets
Maps, postcards, stamps
Or images of the places or images of things in places?
Ways of travel?
In the mind, on TV, reading, dreaming; by foot, rain, bus, underground, on an animal, being carried, on a stretcher or a trolley, in a wheelchair, plane rocket, bicycle, tandem, pram or pushchair, electric scooter, tank, boat, submarine, ferry yacht, life-raft, parachute, paraglider, jet ski, skis, skates, sledge and troika, skates and then coffin.
I have journals from my many journeys and most of the tickets are stuck in them so difficult to photograph as a collective, so I have just chosen some that were loose.
Machu Picchu national park
Military flight to Sarajevo during the war
My sketchbook map of the Inca trail
Some loose tickets from journals
I have thousands of photos from all over the world but most of them have people in them, so the memories are of the people as well as the places and who was with me at the time of the journey.
They are separated as well as possible
