I haven't been feeling to motivated to do anything recently. Too much pressure has been pressed against me, with animation projects and final deadlines. The photography front of my course has been a bit in the low light, which is disappointing in some form, but then it's not a photography course. Now I finally finished my work which had to be handed in this week I can concentrate on the more important news.
It had been exactly a month yesterday when I went to visit the photographer.The work experience organizer from my college contacted me informing me that I would be able to do the work experience with him and that now major checks need to be run. I am so pleased, but hoping after contacting Stuart the go ahead is still in tact. On the 24th of April he is holding a photography course for amateurs and that will also count towards my work experience.
I have been lacking in confidence at my photography. I see so many great images on Flickr and that I'm slowly dragging along behind. As photographers, everyone will be at different levels and no matter what job or person we do/are, we are constantly comparing ourselves to the next person. I got my monthly magazine: Practical Photography, flicked through and thought woah, yeah I would love to be able to do all this stuff and all these step to step guides, but they don't seem to help. I think this is where Stuart comes in. He will be able to teach me the basics and the true meaning of being a photographer and then maybe my career will set off. It will be a while away of course until I am shooting my own shoots but its reachable, so i hope.
Despite the fact I'm a first year at college, we have been told to start looking for uni taster days. I am currently thinking of a vocational photography course, which will lead on to a degree, but where? I don't know for sure yet...
