I KNOW I AM HOME was born out of the Covid-19 Coronavirus lock down. Prior to the lock down having had an interest in photography from an early age, I had picked up an old 35mm film camera at the end of 2019. I liked the mechanical nature of it more so the excitement of getting the film developed.

Not just interested in photography but in my local area, local history and psychogeography. I KNOW I AM HOME, as a name and concept, mainly was a thought I had about identity, location and grounding. I live in Teesside and by and large living where I do has influenced my take on the world.
Psychogeography itself is how the landscape effects the emotions and behaviour of people…

I even bought some disposable cameras (and still do) which is strange for me, because I like more control – but yet I love how little control of the finished product this gives. Images on this ‘blog’ will be taken on whatever medium I can use.

Art, photographs, scrawling on paper, doodles, poetry and words featured here are by myself, and if they aren’t then they will be credited to the author / creator.

Being now under lock down I KNOW I AM HOME takes on a new meaning.

So join me, James, as I post my photographs and musings, from Teesside, North Yorkshire and the other places.
