Definitely giving this a try Andrew - a different way to meander around Newcastle and to maybe discover a few things I've strolled by without a second glance ....
andrew, I'm trying but with no luck whatsoever to create prompts and decks in the Derive app. It's a disaster. It seems you started with the App as an idea generator but went with your own set. Is that corrects? I'm curious also how you centralized your images from the group? Did you use a particular platform or app to share them? I love the idea and want to give it a shot, but the Derive site and app are driving me nuts!
Excellent! I went down a very long psychogeography rabbit hole at the end of last year and came to the conclusion that most of us (especially photographers) practice it in some form or other.
As part of an MA, a collaborative group I was in, derived (!) an exercise not unlike this but less structured for the rest of our cohort to do.
I have _some_ issues with Psychogeography. Mostly to do with its early history, and what I perceive as a long sequence of gatekeeping with the practice. It’s only valid in Paris, or London or an urban area. That sort of thing. Which I see as largely erroneous.
To me, the collision of psychology and geography is something that can be observed by anyone, anywhere. Nice to see it in action. ;)
Great and wicked walk, perfect 🤩 to get lost forever. Thanks for your mention, the correct French spelling of Depardon’s is “Errance”, he got lost not in a city but among the roads and streets of some far deserted land. Very advisable. Also the concept is mentioned in at least one of the street photo books maybe some day I can have again in my hands for referring. Cheers
Dérive: The Art of Getting Lost.
Hi. I am in Bath. I say well done nothing more difficult than photographing the over exposed city.

Great images, Andrew! I’m a fan of a bit of Dérive myself... This is very inspiring.
“they are ok, but that is all”
Except #7, which is profound.
Fantastic! You've just solved my conundrum over what to do this weekend :)

I love this! I'm a touring musician and I bring my camera on tour. I will definitely give this method a try at home, and on the road.

Love this! I haven’t heard of the app before now so I’ll certainly be downloading and giving it a go. Great photos
Wow, this is new to me. Great way of taking 'other' types of photos. Will try it out soon
I never heard of it, but it sounds fun. Especially for a group. Thank you for sharing your experience and the photos.

I hadn't heard of this - very cool!
Nice! A great idea!
This is great! Thanks, Andrew.
This is so inspiring! I’ll do that asap!!
