The 180 Degrees Project (Turning My Back On The Photograph)
In the 1990s, I travelled the Southern States of America with a photographer.
I took my camera, an Olympus Mju Zoom 35 MM Film Camera: point and shoot. But I was at a loss as to what to photograph.
I tried to focus on a small-town kind of vernacular but, unlike the photographer, who'd spent his formative years in America, I'd grown up in Europe; it wasn't a language I spoke or understood.
So I devised a plan. Whenever the photographer stopped to make a picture, I positioned myself behind him; back to back, facing in the opposite direction.
I turned my back on the photograph, and took whatever stood in front of me.
