Those who know me keep saying this project was waiting to happen – if I’m not cycling, I’m photographing, and if I’m not doing either of these I’m unlikely to be very happy.
The idea to start this project came from working on a camera obscura that will be used as an educational resource for all ages. I realised they are so simple and versatile – becoming a classroom, a darkroom, an artists studio and an attraction in its own right. Putting all this on wheels seems natural – sharing the simple beauty of the obscura with different people and places will be fantastic. The decision to travel by bike was simple – it lets us reach landscapes beyond the roads, is low-impact, cheap, and you’re really connected with your surroundings you never miss a thing. That ‘thing’ may well be some drizzle or a fly in your mouth, but it may also be a glimpse of a deer, a swooping buzzard, or a well earned rest at the peak of a hill. Beautiful.
While I was studying Photography I became really interested in our landscapes and since I have been involved in nature conservation to learn more about the land we live in. Before this I led a cycle tour for sustainability cycle charity The Otesha Project.
