I could not find out a lot about the building, in the small village Sticklepath nr Oakhampton. I love the colour's with the weathered look,been standing empty for a long while.
The Methodist Chapel, built in , is located in the centre opposite the village hall, which was built toward the end of the 19 th Century and donated to the inhabitants by Ellen Thompson, daughter of Thomas Pearse, whose family had converted Cleave Mill into a flourishing woollen mill in An outreach post office operates in the village hall twice a week and there is a thriving village shop.
I know this image is not spectacular; it isn't special or that memorable or my best, for that matter. But I feel like it's an appropriate way to end my week project. The reason for the pose is mostly because I've realized how much I don't really like taking pictures of my face anymore, and recently, I've felt like I've become slightly anonymous and a bit of a ghost and I'm very very okay with that.
This project annoyed the shit out of me and I do not think I will be tackling another one anytime soon. I started off strong in terms of actually completing images on time for their respective weeks, but then my life started to pick up. I didn't need to hide behind pictures anymore because I feel like there's nothing to hide from. I started off with this project and very unhappy.
I anticipated that this would be a turning point for me, and it was. I dyed my hair for the first time that summer and became known as 'the one with mermaid hair' which I am very content with. Upon going to college in Columbus, Ohio in the fall - I was very pessimistic about it.
