North east stories

Well I have been giving my new project which is to do with the North east. At first glance at the brief you could say I was panic stricking as my first thought is I would need to take pictures of landmarks and I feel that this type of photography is not my strong point, I am more of a people photographer. At closer inspection the title of the brief is North East Stories which has got me thinking what better story to follow in the North East than my own, after all ive lived and breathed in the north east since i was born. If I think about it ive had connections and links to parts all over the area. So I should be able to get a good coverage. Now the only problem I have is how to take the photographs are they more of a land mark type story or am I going back towards a sort of street photography type story with the photos. Since most of my memories are seen through my eyes im not sure how to approach the style, but I guess this is what research is for.
