After nearly two years I have just two weeks left of my university career. Both exiting an scary at the same time. Full post-uni chat to come soon as I’m currently sat writing up my sketchbook for my final project. Sketchbooking is one thing I won’t miss from Uni…

As for my final project, I chose to photograph people who ride bikes. Nothing unusual there. I could have done something ground braking, flown to far flung countries or whatever, but currently I wanted to have some environmental portraits in my portfolio to compliment my sports photos. After this project I think it will be something I will carry on, and I think I’ll try and branch out into and do more portraiture, especially from a commercial point of view.

In other news, I am participating in the year long photography project, ‘What is England‘, curated by Stuart Pilkington. Myself and 49 other photographers from around the country have set out to produce a series of images that answer six set briefs that reflect on our chosen counties, to build up a picture of England in 2010. The second photo ‘Group’, is now up on the site, the third photo, ‘Work’, will be up June 30th.

Was a lovely day down here today, after a morning spent working on my uni projects, we decided to head to the beach. Still a bit of a nip in the wind, but summer is defiantly on the way…

50mm lovelyness with all natural light…

Went on a nice little photo expedition to Durdle Door with the primary aim to just take photos. No brief, no commercial context, no nothing. Just to take photos for ourselves.The weather was kind, not to sunny, not raining, just right. Was surprising out of the four of us, all digital shooters, we had 4 film cameras ranging from Polaroid through 35mm to a holga and 6×7. All good.

I think this should become a weekly thing… The forecast for tomorrow is rubbish, so a day of sketchbook for our Professional Project looks like its on the cards, after a trip to Sainsburys for coffee and biscuits…

Well, my idea of semi-regular posts seems to have fallen through… I’ve been busy with uni work. Got the introduction for our final project today. Bit scary its the last one of my university career, but we have a good few months to do it so it should be good. I’ve also re-designed my site (again) should be up soon (cough) built on the back of all the feedback from the current one, so in theory will be amazing :-)

As well as doing my uni projects I generally want to shoot more film. So I’ve decided to start an ongoing project just to experimenting with film and light, nothing special. I love B/W film, its piss easy to process and looks amazing. Hopefully I’ll get some more pics as I play about with it. Yea, I could use digital, but there’s just something about the look and feel of film that’s just lovely.

Will on the beach, New Years Frisbee when it wasn’t snowing.
