We are putting on a fund raiser for our end of year show! Come and buy some prints and enter the raffle!!

I have started my last semester of university. I only have 3 hours of classes a week so I am trying to keep myself busy with working my paid job and also interning at the Viewfinder Gallery in Greenwich. I am there two days week learning every I can from Louise the curator there. I’m really excited about it and my first day is tomorrow! I am also hoping to enter something into the Open Salon exhibition this week.

I have also been doing some freelance work here and there and last week I got to assist on another Hawes & Curtis campaign. I will put some images up when I am able to but it is very exciting! I am also still working with Zoe when she needs an assistant. Also my friend Lucy Brown said she may need my help on some upcoming fashion shoots she has soon.

All this makes it sound like I am not doing any of my own work! Alas, I still am trying to take photos every day and posting them to my Flickr account while also doing a rather ambitious university project! Oh and helping organise the end of year show and fundraiser!

All this means the next three months will be very interesting for me!

Photo Gathering Jan 2010

Originally uploaded by Morgyn Edwards

So last Saturday I went to the Mass Photo Gathering in Trafalger Sq. About 2000 photographers turned up and it was very good natured and cheerful event. It was interesting to see so many people taking photos in one area of each other. It’s funny to think about how much as a photographer myself I prefer to be behind the camera rather than in front of it, I know many other photographers like this too, but it seemed that no one minded having their photo taken here. People probably expected to have their photos taken as I’m sure is what happens when you throw 2000 photographers into a small area together raising awareness of an issue specifically for photographers.
I’m very glad I went and although I hope there won’t be a need for another event like this, I wouldn’t mind it again either.

Yesterday was my birthday and it was a beautiful day to have one if I do say so myself. When I met mom and Paul at Momument we walked to the Tower and over the bridge to the lunch.

Paul made reservation for us at The Chop House by Tower Bridge and we sat outside and had champange. The food was really nice but it was a little too heavy for me (I had posh banger and mash for a main and crab for a starter), and if I am honest then it was probably too hot a day to eat bangers and mash but it was so good.

When I got home I took a nap as I had to go to work for a meeting in the morning, at which I was promised cake but there was none when I got there. It was probably a good thing because I’m not a huge cake fan. Well, in this country anyways, I like American ice cream cakes and whipped icing… yummy!

Emma and Charlotte came over at 8 and we got ready to go out to an indie club and they gave me my presents which included a pop art canvas of Jarvis Cocker!! *sigh* I love that man.

We had a really great night out though. As proved by the evidence below… (more…)
