[Sequences of photographs](https://web.archive.org/web/20021017090909/http://www.elasticspace.com/photography/diary/) as a narrative medium, suggesting movement, place, stories, journeys.

Contextualised imagery, and the relationship between mapping and photography, is where the research goes next.
