5. Get on a random train
5.1. Logistics: - Go to Flinders Street Station / Southern Cross Station / Melbourne Central - Roll a dice based on the number of platforms (excluding V line) - Go there, catch a train - Look up where train is going so you don't get unintentionally lost. we're only looking for an intentional feeling of displacement here - Get off somewhere cool looking or somewhere that looks insanely boring - Walk - take photos, don't be shy of the unfamiliar environment, if I am, I will probably end up sticking close to the station. go back another time or with someone else if really necessary. be aware that if im not in the mood when i take them, i will associate that with them later, don't ruin a potential location cos your not feeling it. - Find way home - preferably via train - review images, note the lack of anything you're happy with. - listen to chosen song and review images once more - *sigh* - drink five coffees - head in hands - procrastinate - procrastinate - procrastinate - look at self in mirror - be dissapointed in self - procrastinate - start again - ask a friend to come with - get a no - *sigh* - ... - start again
