Documentary Photography Part 2: Task 1: Research Leeds 2011

LEEDS 2011.
This is one of the themes we can choose for our documentary photography.
For this theme i could take pictures around Bradford of the landmarks for example the Alhambra or the new mirror pool that's about to open.
Or take photographs on an aspect of Leeds for example the homelessness or street photography.
In 2008 Martin Parr took photographs around Leeds for the guardian.
Here are some of his images:

Under the train station:
 River Aire Under the train station:
 Victoria Arcade shopping centre/ Harvey Nichols Cafe: 
 Abdullahs Harehills Road:
 Hanksworth Butchers Kirkgate Market:
 The Merrion Centre:
 Mike's Carpets Armley:
 HMP Armeley Leeds Prison:
 The George Stubbs opening at the Leeds Art Gallery:
 Members of the Johanne Masowe church:
 John Rooney Doorman for Harvey Nichols:
 The works Skatepark:


Although I like the idea of taking pictures of every part of the city i don't think it suits me best.
