After living in the B29 postcode district of Birmingham for a cumulative total of around 8 years now I’ve always been struck by the amazing diversity in landscape, wealth and general surroundings.

Recently an idea had been growing to get out there with my camera gear and spend a few months attempting to document this diversity of society in photographic form for all to see.

Then I had an even better idea – or I think so at least! Using the power of Flickr and, hopefully in the future, numerous other web services, I’ll build a representation of B29 that anyone can contribute to and participate in.

So… here goes.

It’s early days – only the Flickr group is really in existence at the moment and I haven’t taken any new photos as yet – but hopefully there will be plenty more to report on soon!

For those not overly familiar with this part of Birmingham, here is the B29 area (click on map for larger image).
