016 - Photo

I've taken a photo

Something which, for a photography student, shouldn't be surprising. Yet when the act of taking a photo reminds me of so much, it's become hard to even consider shooting. Now it feels like a turning point has been reached, all the inspiration and ideas I've had are starting to come forward, blocked only by deadlines and finance. Which just happen to be major considerations.

The limiting factor of in-productiveness is that as the work approaches and passes the deadline, another project is set. The last month where I've had 5 simultaneous projects hasn't been the best, but arguably it's been the most important. I finished the essay unit successfully, and now awaiting the marks for a digital imaging unit. It could be that the threat of having to leave uni is one that forced me into working, working hard at that or maybe I have reached that point when the past becomes something which, instead of holding me back, is now pushing me forward. So watch out, I've got catching up to do.

015 - New York

New York

In 2 hours I will be leaving my little house in Bournemouth and flying to New York. My first time out of Europe and I'm going to spend it with Platon, Phillip Toledano and Chris Verne. Which more than makes up for the fact I'll be arriving at my hotel at 0130 GMT.

As well as that, I'll be doing a shoot for Criminal Clothing. I can only hope I can get some time to go off, explore and get some shots. It's been a long time since I have.

See you all in a week.
