The SoBa Project
This is a project that has been tumbling around in my head for some time. I started working on it in a more deliberate fashion this year, and now I think it's time to knuckle down and really start putting it together. In my estimation, I have at least two years worth of work ahead of me if I'm going to pull this off. So there's no sense pussyfooting around anymore.
SoBa is the name I use to refer to the neighbourhood in London, Ontario where I have lived for the last umpteen years. The SoBa Project is my attempt to produce a photographic record of this neighbourhood at an interesting time in its history.
SoBa is a mostly flat, triangular wedge of land bound on the north by the CN Rail tracks and Bathurst Street, on the east by Adelaide Street and along the south by the Thames River. Here's a satellite view from Google Earth:
SoBa = South of Bathurst
I'll be posting some of my work here; mainly test shots, pulling together ideas and thinking out loud. Much of the photography that I'm doing involves the use of black & white film and I don't have much interest in reproducing that work here on the web. But I also take a lot of my shots using a little digicam and you'll get to see lots of those. If I acquire a better digital camera during this project, and I'm hoping/planning to, then that could certainly affect how much of this project ends up online.
And here's a random sampling of shots from the work so far:
