SAME… BUT DIFFERENT (TIN CANS)

I’m working with my comrade James on a photographic based project, entitled “Same But Different”. We have based our photos around tin cans…

Tin cans (like the ones you get baked beans in) are out there… and they are EVERYWHERE! They are in the shops and supermarkets; they are in the factories, in the bins, on our streets and in our rivers, by the road sides, in land fill sites and in people’s homes… all over the place, the list goes on…

I guess we are trying to show the life cycle of the tin can by documenting some of the many possible routes that a tin can might take. From being made, containing food, being purchased and opened, being thrown away, rusting away in a field somewhere or maybe even recycled.

We have logged certain pieces of information to go along with our photographs; we then plan to arrange them into an order and hopefully develop some sort of interactive web based piece from them and maybe even a print version.

Here are a few select photos, more to follow…
