clouds with a silver lining...

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...

Animations and Projects

My course seems to be taking up alot of time but it has been helpful with my photography. I've been working on animations based on photos are that on my Flickr. I will get round to posting it on here some time soon I hope.

Also on my diploma I did a recent photography project which was marked with a merit, which I was really pleased with, hopefully next time I will work to get a distinction.

I also have some news that a family friend has a sister who is getting married July 2010 and said that I am welcome to take photos for them. I am not going to be the offical photographer but this will defiently help with getting there.

Unfortunatly today Blogger won't let me upload any of my photos but if you click the link at the bottom my photography project and animation will be in my photostream. Enjoy
