These are the personal images collected by some of the members in our group that sparked our interest and helped us to decide our concept. These images include: New York (Emily), The Transporter Bridge in Middlesbrough (Rachel) and Gemma's own photograph of her farming with her family in Thailand (Gemma).
We liked the contrast of the urban and built up images with the toned down more simple life of Gemma's family in Thailand. This led us on to thinking about all of the problems that people in the West have such as paying bills, the stress of work and family life etc. and how different it must be to live in an LEDC country. How happy these people seem to be. The people that we may feel sorry for or laugh at for not being as developed as us, but they're so laid back and we doubt that they have even heard of a 'mid life crisis'.
We also started to think about communities such as the Amish and their stripped back, very simple way of life in contrast with the hustle and bustle of New York. We decided that we would research further into this idea for our trend. The bridge images also symbolise the idea of 'bridging the gap' between these two cultures.
