A quieter week..

Due to illness and end of year finances at work to tidy up, I have not been at my computer of camera for nearly a week.  That is not good going.  I will have to make up for it at the week end.

Good news though. I had my report back for my First Assignment and I was pleased with it.  Naturally I have a few areas to look at, but not bad for a fist attempt.

Next week work takes me to Edinburgh, I hope I get time to use a camera while away then.  I can never tell with work.

All done...

...and onto the next exercise...

Missing a picture... oops

At the moment I am working away from home.  I thought I had uploaded all my pictures for assignment 1 in preparation to completing it today... Only to find the final photograph is missing.  This means that I will have to call my wife when she gets home from work and talk her through it all.  Should be fine.  Once that is done I can then submit it all...

Almost done..

I have made good ground with the first assignment.... Having looked through all my images I have noticed the distinct lack of people.  Do I have a problem with taking strangers pictures? Maybe.  It follows through with the rest of my library.  I thought it was just because I took pictures for me and of the family.  Now that isn't the case so I need to be aware of this and make a move towards photographing more people I think.  Work is is in London again next week, I will make a conscious effort to correct this phenomena.

Assignment 1

I've made a good start on my first assignment, now with two weeks away with work I will either get an opportunity to take plenty of photographs or none.  It's never something in-between.
I plan on taking more images than needed so that I may pick the ones that I prefer. As long as my tutor has similar taste I should be fine.  I will get to read what he prefers soon no doubt. 

Day out..

I had the chance today to spend a day at a studio messing about with the lights...  When I say messing about, it was educational... but fun.  I would recommend it to anyone.

Another start...

I have been able to make a start on the first assignment.  I have plenty of time but I won't be pushing it to the wire.

I found a message in a bottle .... dated 29/02/12
it said "my life, my love, my ameri, my heartbeat...
there are no words to describe how much i love you,
will you marry me,
one day?..
even if we are old and grey
where are you sweetheart?
love always your English Rose..
S.R"

I have to say I sent it back on it's way... wonder where it is now.
