New Project - Village Life - Life Spy - IMAGES OF STREET LIFE

This year I have decided to do a documentary project focusing on Village Life.
This came about as my Grandfather has lots of pictures taken in the early 1900's with some images of my village (he used to drink at the local pub) so there is already some grounds for comparison on how it used to be compared to the present day.
More than that though I have always found it hard to take pictures of the village I live in, as it is so familiar to me, nothing looks new or interesting, so I thought it would be a good photo challenge.
When I started to analyse what is in the village and what to cover I was amazed at the opportunity on my doorstep.
Today for example, I was walking the dog through some woods and found this old kettle, dumped next to the fence with the village name on it, that was just today.
Some of the things I intend to cover is the various sports and activities that frequently go on and hopefully some of the parish meetings. The carnival that happens each year with the election of the carnival queen, building of floats, demonstrations and the rest. The pubs and their regulars as well as the people that frequent the village, all in all, a lot to cover so it will take me the best part of the year.
Some ways to cover this is to show detailed close up images that people walk past daily, landscapes, wildlife and plant life that is unique to the village and so on, so the scope is enormous when you get down to it.
