Notes to self

I am thinking a lot about the gaps that I did not cover in my practise as a photographer in the feedback that I had from uni.  I have a respectable 2.1 predicted grade which, believe me, I was not expecting and in a way its given me a real boost on what I can achieve if only I really fully apply myself!  So what for this year?  Start a good audit trail of my activities, shows I attend artists talks etc.  Find my own critical language no airy fairy statements and be a lot more analytical.  Stop dabbling and dipping my toes into ideas, or less so, as most things that  I come across I am thinking how would I explore and make a project out of it.  What I need now is to see where my practise is taking me as its still a little unclear so I need to nail this over summer and look to do a real concentrated body of work and maybe a concentrated photo documentary would be a good start, something where I am spending more time on research and of what I want to achieve.  I am very handy with the candid shots but needs to push myself that bit more.  I have a good opportunity for this over summer as I expand my project which I did in my final piece at uni - the theme being the exploration of mental health.  For this I am working with another student to collaborate on this project with the aim of hosting a show - I will add the updates on here as we go along and look forwards to any input.

slowly but surely

slowing getting used to how to add other peoples blogs but trying to narrow it down to my areas of interest.

I am new to this

Hi everyone, I am new to blogging so it will take me some time to get my head round this, so please bear with me.  I am a photographer and the main purpose of my blog is to document my practise as it develops and to provide reviews regarding any gallery events or shows that I attend as I am very poor at keeping an audit trail!  No excuses now however.  I am also looking to host a show of my own so I will also keep you informed on how that is shaping up too.
