This week we discussed the chance or accidental image and how a we can subconsciously ‘choose’ a shot. A surrealist notion. This was my introduction to ‘Psychogeography’ the study of the influence of geographical environment on the mind or on behaviour. Having walked, drifted or ambled through and around many cities with my camera, I was pleased to find that this is what I have been doing for many years.

I’ve never thought of myself as a ‘Street’ photographer, as I do enjoy making pictures in the city, I don’t tend to go for the candid shots of unsuspecting subjects. My work involves the city more as I balance the space with use of space.

This image, taken in the Croatian city of Split, depicts a man dressed as Santa, a couple out for an evening stroll and two men with an umbrella. This was shot at the beginning of September and there had been no rain (the stone streets are naturally this shiny). Each element begs a question, put together it makes for quite a bizarre image.
