Some things that
influenced me before my research are World of Warcraft, Dungeons and Dragons,
Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. These books films and games have a strong
influence on fantasy as a genre.
During my research I was shown a display by David Gregory, a local photographer from Blackpool. His work was entitled mirth folk.
I contacted David by e mail and asked if I could use his work as part of my blog, along with being able to use a quote to express what influenced his work.
He replied…
A quote from David
'What inspired me was simple curiosity. I am interested in people that don't comply with what is regarded as normal, so anyone with unusual hobbies, interests, pass-times, jobs... what have you. I'm interested in what makes some people turn away from the popular and seek out something else. I'm also interested in escapism and what causes it, and have been reading a great deal about globalisation and how it causes people to be dissatisfied with their lives, and seek to separate their every day lives from reality as a result'North West based photographer, currently living in Blackpool
