At the Foot of a Mountain.

The first step of any project is usually quite daunting, how do you choose a direction when faced with 360 degrees of choice? As I write this I'm in a similar position, that is, beginning my PhD at the University of Salford: a 3 year journey which will no doubt take me through every possible emotion a single human being can process. But hey, I'm ready.

I'll be using this blog to not only make new friends, but to cast out ideas on my progress, gather opinions from a wider audience, and curse Microsoft Word for not inspiring me when things get tough.

The Research: (Working title) Urban Wilderness: a practice-based study on the disconnection between humans and native wildlife in Greater Manchester, UK, and how this separation may be resolved through digital photography.

The above is currently a working-title used for my research proposal, I'll go into further detail later - To minimise what could be an overly ambitious attempt at a first entry.

Please feel free to leave any initial thoughts, questions and comments. I'll be interested in any contributions! Thanks for reading.
