I came by this article on the bbc website http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-essex-15923449 and I have to say that it achieved what the photographer Ian Treherne wanted in the way that I felt so inspired. Treherne says that "I like to show people who take their eyesight for granted the simple views they walk past every day and do not notice." The emphasis of his work is on everyday scenes that most people tend to take for granted. He also seems to focus on the shape of his subject and finding something to appreciate the beauty in buildings/ streets/ towns.
I have been feeling a bit disheartened with my level of progression (being to hard on myself as usual) and if somebody like Ian can get on without complaint and with obvious skill then I should stop feeling sorry for myself and just get on with it, who knows what you can achieve when you put your mind to it. Ian himself hopes it shows "that with a bit of willing, passion and enthusiasm, no matter how hard things are you can get somewhere in life if you try a little bit harder", how very true this is.
