Notes on BOARD, Aberystwyth, Ceredigion 2000

A notice board with all its notices ripped off revealing a worn board with pieces of paper and staples remaining.

Not altogether successful but there is enough information on the image to warrant its inclusion. I have returned to this image many times - printed it differently many times and have concluded that I should now try to live with it. The major problem as I can see is that it was taken with a wide angle lens when I believe a standard or short telephoto lens would have been more appropriate. Unfortunately this would have meant standing in the road and not only annoy drivers but also increasing my own visibility in a moderately busy Sunday morning street. I always attempt to photograph under a cloud of focussed invisibilty when out in towns. Not altogether easily done with a field camera, tripod and black clothe.
