This project is about taking a picture of a place which is not over run with people and then taking the shot just when one person enters the frame.
You could have set up the photo with a helpful friend, but I didn't need to this time, I was lucky. Here at Cothay Manor, which was not over busy, there were people intermittently passing through giving me a chance to take the picture I wanted. It was also easy to do without people noticing you with the camera as you were far enough away and it looks like you were taking a shot of the building. The people here are offset and walking into the frame, they are not definitely noticeable. It was an overcast day and the shot was a little dark - I may try and lift it a little.

The second picture - there were more people milling around Exeter Cathedral but I managed to pick this man out against the building and make him look solitary. I am going to use this picture for my selective prominence, project 23, and shall try and make the man look more prominent. I changed it to black and white just for something different, the english weather was quite grey so it seemed to suit.
The figure here is more central and at first you don't see him, but you do before you leave the photograph.
