Allotments in Plymouth

I think I've decided to focus on Allotments for my Formal Intervention Assignment. I first looked at Mario Guacomelli's work and liked the lines and shapes of his farm land images, but unfortunately I couldn't find the land I was looking for around Plymouth. Then I considered Tree Carvings which fascinate me .. how people, especially young lovers, like to carve their intials and hearts on the barks of the trees. But using a Medium Format Camera, I wasnt able to get the clear shots I wanted. I'm not familiar enough with the camera yet to shoot a good depth of field image. So then I thought about Allotments in the City. My neighbour kindly lent me his key and after taking a walk around the Allotment, I thought this might make a good subject for my work.
