Its my birthday next week.

Since graduating uni I have pretty much taken no photos. Not because I don’t want to, but life in general has got in the way. Poor excuse I know. To counteract this, I have decided to attempt a ‘Photo-a-week’ project. What?! a week! why not a photo a day? – well, this is why: I have attempted a PAD before, It maybe works for about a month, then falls off fast. I have seen other people try PADs and its worked out for them, fair play to them finding the time. I think a week would give enough scope to produce 52 decent photos, that can all stand on their own merit, yet will look coherent as a body of work, and show my style and shooting direction. One a week I think is an easy and obtainable target. Trying to do one a day is fine (especially if its more flickr-style snapshots that don’t really say too much) but I want to produce decent work, a having a week to do one good photo means I’m not trying to justify the 3rd photo in a row of a cloud or a bug in the garden. I’ll start it on my birthday week, and see a) how long I can keep it up for, and b) what sort of photos I’ll get out of it. My aim is to use it as a springbord to get more into portraiture, one area that I’ve struggled with in the past, and expand my lifestyle photography as I feel that I need to try and get myself more commercially orientated…

Exiting.

Well, thats 2009 over with. ’09 was a nice eye opener, especially the latter few months at uni. Think I’m finally finding my feet, and kinda know roughly what I’m doing.  I have a few things in the pipeline for 2010 that I’m working on, stay tuned for that. The sun is out and I’m off to the beach…

Here is a totally unrelated photo of Megan, shot last year (week);

Here’s to 2010. yay!

Not a great deal has been happining of late. I’ve started to plan my next uni project, Narrative,  had a really nice shoot in a Manor house ealier in the week, and I’ve finally got around to designing a new website. I have a few personal projects in the pipeline, Hopefully I can start to get something out of them before Uni…

Nearly a month since last post,  and I can’t even say this one is something exiting.  I made myself a lens and tested it on the only subject I could find…

Mmmm. Hopefully I can get to use it in a less boring way soon… Still, seems to work….

Being a hayfeaver sufferer and a light sleeper, I often wake up at silly times of the morning unable to breath. Most of the time its a pain, but sometimes it can be rather nice…
