I have had a few different ideas for my photo essay…

First: Document how someone (a local musician) copes with PTSD lives and what struggles they face

Second: Follow how an owner of a local Vinyl Record shop is coping in today’s market with the resurgence of the record and he has copped over the years

Third: Talk to and find out more about a Palm Reader in the back streets of the Barbican how he does what he does

I have decided to try out the record shop owner as I was unsuccessful with communicating with the musician with PTSD. I am hoping to take some imagery of the shop, interviewing the owner and finding out his story, how he came to be here and how he came to sell records, including how long he has and why he has for that length of time.
