I was looking at Ori Gerschts work awhile ago. In his book, he takes the journey the polish jews did on their way to the concentration camps. As a series of images, I highly recommend them to anyone. They both highly mundane, yet their significance transforms them into something far more moving.

I started to think about Journeys. When i was traveling in Australia i did the red eye greyhound bus run from Sydney to Melbourne. I had no ipod, no book and no one to talk to, so i spent all evening and the morning looking out of the window (you cant sleep of those buses no matter how hard you try) watching the landscape whiz by. I cant remember any specific features, yet i have a good timeline of the journey, the general 'gist' if you will. This got me thinking on how we experience journeys, as a a series of memorable events, or a smooth timeline? This led to the image above. Twenty three photos from a trip to the coast. The journey isnt important, but rather the image contains every feature of that journey which gives me that 'gist', if that makes sense, but instead of showing them in a linear left to right sequence, they have simply been combined into one image, an average, or a medium (if you prefer maths). Now if i could only think of some interesting journeys to take...
