Geoffrey Chaucer was a chronic Insomniac, in his poem the Book Of The Duchess, not being able to sleep he reaches for his copy of
Metamorphoses by the ancient Roman poet Ovid. The book is full of grand visuals and emotion, so when he eventually falls asleep he has magical dreams about the story. This is similar to being awake and dreaming; reading a story or seeing a film that effects you leads to seeing scenes or images while awake. This means that photographs I take could be contextualised back to something I have watched recently, maybe I could experiment by watching or reading something that inspires me to take such pictures?
