Through my investigation of the Town Hall Station i discovered the realism of the threat of terrorism and how people suddenly become very uneasy when they see people straying from their usual activities in a train station. People are very cautious and paranoid about what we are up to.
My investigation involved mostly photographing, sketches and plan drawings, it became more and more difficult as the station filled up with people during peak and rush times. The realism of it all is that no matter what time you go there, there will always be someone who thinks you are up to no good. Conditions cant always work in your favour, you have to work with the current situation or you wont get anything done at all.
On my second trip i attracted a bit more attention for some reason, but then after security got to us we were told to get a visitor pass from the office. Even with this, we had problems with security.... and a few thugs who wanted to get their hands on our camera, suggesting we included them in a photo of a bench moments after they had walked off.
No matter what you do, if you stray from the norm, you attract some form of attention, even though your actions may be perfectly reasonable and within the law.
