Tile 2 of 6 - Journal Entry July 23rd - Good news or the Bad news? I always go for the bad news first... This time I'll start with the good... At the time I had just moved to Chelmsford a town that had just been given City status & on the up & up, a bit like me, a young City with a bright future yet to make its mark on the world as a city... This was where I took posession of the keys to my new place on Bond Street . The one bedroom apartment I rented as soon as I had finished my 12 week stint in rehab, back in 2010 going into 2011.. So I was clean... and very optimistic about the future... Primarily because I had a new strategy I hadn't tried before. I was going to commit to filling the void with art. I was going to practice daily for at least a year and see were that leads me. While in treatment I was given a copy of a book called "The Artists Way by Julia Cameron " which I highly recommend to anyone looking to take their creative life to the next level. So I had a plan, I had a beautiful place (unfurnished). I had a largish art collection, left over from the original figment gallery in Abuja which had now been closed for a couple of years. Needless to say everything was looking up... The bad news was yet to come...

Tile 5 of 6 - Journal Entry July 20th - Another Perspective - The Hub from the bridge looking across the river. This one of my favorite views of the Hub incorporating the river and the restaurants on Bond Street. You can see how it all works together... #theotherbondstreet #construction #riversideview #thehub #demolition #project #aquila #chelmsford #bondstreetdevelopment #urbanphotography #lifestyle #fashion #architecture #goldenhour (at Bond Street Chelmsford)

Tile 2 of 6 - Journal Entry 13th July '17- Art Space (Whitewall gallery, Bond Street)- Documentary is about showing the real world, architecture is the canvas for the stories of our lives... Living art. There are buildings that we are naturally drawn to. For me its galleries... and the spaces they inhabit. Galleries make art visible to the world, the mechanism artists and their work find their way to our homes and businesses... the gallery is its artists. With the visual art revolution especially within the realm of the internet, however there is still no substitute for the ability to enjoy work in person... Here are a few other reasons to visit the local art gallery. Increase art education and general creative intelligence, Support your local small businesses and they're creative community and finally it's actually social and good clean fun (depending on the exhibition of course 😂). Anyway this is just my way of interpreting the space around the gallery on Bond Street.. #theotherbondstreet #tobs #gallery #art #construction #whitewall #demolition #project #aquila #chelmsford #bondstreetdevelopment #urbanphotography #lifestyle #fashion #architecture #bondstreet #juxtaposition www.theotherbondstreet.com Sx (at Bond Street Chelmsford)

Journal Entry 21st June '17- Prepping the story. Working on the multimedia presentation of "the story so far". The aim is to tell the story of #theotherbondstreet and how it came to be a project which is taking on a life of its own. The pretext is that of taking a bad situation and making the best out it by shifting perspective. In this case literally. By using combination of stills, video and audio I hope to draw attention to this unusual ongoing real time visual story...

Journal Entry 2nd of June 2017- Rainy Birthdays - It's my birthday... and the good weather streak is over... A lunchtime storm just came through, interrupting what was a very sunny warm day. I'm 39 years old and my journey is just staring to get interesting. I think I've found my calling and a path to success. Visual storytelling seems to be the way. This combines my favorite hobbies since I was young. Computers, art, photography and telling stories aka "chatting sh**". Not necessarily in that order but pretty much my entire skill set is in now demand now. I know many other creatives who can't believe their luck. It's their time now. Those random hobbies now form the foundation of a visual storyteller today... Pls "like" if you enjoyed... and "follow" to stay connected...and support.... #theotherbondstreet #construction #visualstorytelling #demolition #project #aquila #chelmsford #bondstreetdevelopment #urbanphotography #lifestyle #fashion #architecture www.theotherbondstreet.com Sx (at Bond Street Chelmsford)

Tile 6 of 6 - Journal Entry 30th May 2017- What Car Park? - It just occurred to me that the car park that kick started everything is actually still there...only it's underground now. A classic case of "out of site out of mind". Considering the vertical axis is a great use of space and opportunity... It's not just what's around you that matters but above and below...a reminder that opportunity is everywhere...especially if you shift perspective.. #theotherbondstreet #construction #perspcetive #demolition #project #aquila #chelmsford #carpark #bondstreetdevelopment #urbanphotography #lifestyle #fashion #architecture www.theotherbondstreet.com Sx (at Bond Street Chelmsford)

Tile 5 of 9 - Journal Entry October 19th 2016- Changing perspective by going down onto the bridge where I get a different view of the river and the development behind... The kayaker came into frame just at the right time... seems to be the way that something cool happens as soon as you are prepared...you can almost expect it... Today was a good day.... #theotherbondstreet #riverscape #chelmer #bondstreet #kayak #evening #goldenhour #aquila #bondstreetdevelopment #seunism #figmentmedia #urbanphotography #cityscapes #construction #project #instadaily #picoftheday www.theotherbondstreet.com Sx (at Bond Street Chelmsford)
