The fact is that this phenomenon is actually huge. It's in surprising places, and there is some very interesting #archaeology and #ContemporaryArchaeology research ongoing into the history of this and actually into the renewed practice in a modern context.

Oh crap. I'm talking myself into this being a much bigger project aren't I?

This is from my very long term project on the Forth Bridges in Central Scotland, called simply “The Bridges”, which was eventually ‘completed” in 2014. quote marks because a few years later a 3rd bridge was built, and I’m only just coming round to the idea that I should examine the project again.

I used to call this #documentaryphotography but doing my MA, I now consider it a form of #ContemporaryArchaeology
