Apart from yesterday it has been a while since I have really written anything. At the moment I'm currently in the Student Learning Centre at my college (I have a free lesson) and waiting for an I.T exam at ten thirty.
This post isn't really much photography based but its just about a new start - Its a new year, I've updated my blog theme as we also welcome this new decade. I think I'm going to try and track my progress more and write down any useful tips I'm given, while I learn. Also this year on my Flickr account I'm aiming to learn more skills and only going to upload my best photos. In the past I've only uploaded random photos that I took, without an interesting angle or whatever, but it also shows that I'm currently progressing.
My photography journey so far...

An Almost Dream...?
When you want to achieve happiness it doesn't always come easy. You may be blessed with that once in a life time chance to live up to your aspirations and dreams.
On Saturday the 23rd, so two days ago, I was given that opportunity. My Dad knows a photography, and we had a family portrait done four years ago. Back then I wasn't interested in Photography, I didn't know a family friend would be able to give me the chance to make my dream come true.
My Dad and I went along because I needed a new passport photo and Stuart provided this in his home studio. After the mini shoot, we sat down and had a cup of tea and chatted about my interest in becoming a photographer. As I haven't been around to update my blog lately I haven't mentioned that a ten day work experience is required in my course. In our tutor session we wrote down what area of work we would like to work. I of course, chose a photographers studio. At the time I had no idea that just within five days I would get an offer and a one day Photography Course that goes back
the basics and covers the essential skills you need. This sounded like a dream come true, and the tiny condition could cause a problem was the least out of our minds on our way home.
The thing is checks may be acquired such as health and safety. I received a reply to my email that I sent yesterday about thanking and interesting in working for Stuart temporarily. The reply was one of those heart-sinking, loss of hope kind of emails. Something along the lines of that if the checks have to go through then it will cause a hassle and the work experience not probable.
So I am stuck in that stage at the moment and lost as to whether I should keep up the optimism or lay low and be patient.
I will have to wait and see what happens.
