Maybe… just maybe, tonight will be the last time I stress out all night over a hand in!!

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!

I am almost finished with uni work!

Well the end of formal classes is coming up soon. Next semester we only have one scheduled class and the rest of the time is up to us to get on with our final projects. Which isn’t that good for me because I am so unsure of what I have chosen to do! I am going to push through though and start on it and let it evolve with my emotions. How philosophical of me! Or stupid, I’m not sure which yet.

All the snow we’ve been having recently, which was great at first, is now beginning to get on my nerves. It’s making a documentary project outside really difficult and also getting to and from work is becoming a pain. I am tired of every step being a strategic manoeuvre and having cold and wet feet! Though saying that I did build an awesome snow bear with my flatmate and her boyfriend. (more…)

Sorry for the lack of updating. I am having problems getting connected to the internet since I moved. But I have a little bit of connection right so I will quickly update.

Some new photos are on the front if you haven’t seen them. They are from a range of projects I did last semester.

This semster though, it’s so awesome. Studio Practice, Advance Imaging, and Language of Photography are my modules. I get to make a book. And I have the best idea for the book. I can’t wait to do it, if I can pull it off right it’s going to be the best thing I’ve ever made.

is Friday. Brain will resume work shortly after. Thanks.

I’m in Prague at the moment. We took a coach here and it took around 20 hours, luckily though the coach wasn’t too full so I was able to get a couple seats to myself and sleep a while. And there was a beautiful dawn haze over the countryside as we passed through Germany.

When we first arrived at the hotel they put 4 of us into a room for 3 so I had to move into another room. That turned out to be a good thing as I ended up sharing with Marcia and we get along really well and shared a room together in Berlin last year. Then last night after dinner, a few of us were even having a nightcap and Ed came over and said Marcia and I were told to move out of our room by 8am. It was already 1am. We weren’t even told where we had to move to, so being a little drunk on Czech wine we moved into one of our friends rooms. So I am back in a room meant for 3 that has four.

Aside from that little drama, the trip has been nice so far. I seem to keep taking photos of creepy things in Prague. Mainly that means marionettes, I’m not really sure why there are so many shops that sell them here but I watched someone make one the yesterday. They are the weirdest things.

I also walked up to the Castle in the most round about way. It’s a long way up the hill and we ended up taking a route that took us further up the hill than the castle was and having to walk down the hill a bit to get there.

We didn’t go inside any of the buildings but just looked around and took photos of the people. There was a man doing metal work in one and also (what we think was) an archeology dig. Although all they seemed to be uncovering was plumbing.

By the time we got back to the bottom of the Castle it was lovely and sunny and the colour just seemed to pop off the roofs of the buildings along the river. We headed down to the Charles Bridge and saw the glowing, marching Penguins, and some really creepy baby sculptures. By this time the sun had started to go down and we reached the opposite side and were able to look back at the Castle as it lit up, really the most amazing thing, it was so beautiful.

Perhaps it is the romantic in me but the city is much more beautiful at night than in th day. Then again it could just be the night owl in me.
