We (as a group) looked at several photographers who photographed blackburn for inspiration and an idea of what their interests were.

GB. England. Blackburn. Yates's Wine Lodges. Although well priced in comparison to their competitors, these wine lodges acquired a distinctly dismal reputation with typical characteristics of a working class customer, elderly and often female with overdone make-up. But the unspoilt, original wine lodges, with their high ceilings and bare floorboards, their pillars and rails for propping yourself upright, seem clearly designed for the determined and joyless business of taking the quickest route to oblivion. Peter Yates insisted that, in the interests of sobriety, food should be available throughout licensing hours and every lodge still boasts something good to eat at any time of the day (though it maybe often no more than the ubiquitous pork pie!).
We took note of how things have changed in society today, Smoking in public places was banned on 1 july 2007 which is over 5 years ago. Looking at the picture you see smoke gathering in the air which seems quite alien to us now.
There is a very long title/caption to this photograph, this made everyone wonder why the long title?
Many pubs seem to be closing down within blackburn so society has change drastically

GB. ENGLAND. In Blackburn, a muslim asian passes by a window with a nude wax model. Choc or culture?
We spoke about this image and we felt the photographer showed some signs of naivety and the man probably wouldn't have even noticed the model in the window.
There is words within the caption we also felt was unnecessary, we agreed it should have said "A man passes by the window with a nude wax model". There is no need to mention weither the man is black,white or asian.
This image does not partically appeal to me, there isnt really anything interesting to look at and his understanding of culture doesnt seem to be broad minded.
