After a long and regrettably lazy summer away from my first year of Uni, I have become increasingly concerned with returning to the place I once felt so at home. Finishing the year gaining a First gave me a huge confidence boost and confirmed what I had suspected all along (although would never admit)...I belong in education. I love to learn and when committed, I really can achieve things I felt were not possible. So ego-boosting aside, it was a genuinely fantastic year for me ...
However, second year is where the fun really begins. My commitment will be tested like never before and my true dedication to the course and to the medium of photography itself will no doubt be under incredible scrutiny. For once however - I am ready. Ready for change. Ready for progression. Ready to settle back into the beautifully ambiguous, confusing, technically challenging and awe-inspiring world of the photographic medium.
I have been meaning to start blogging my thoughts for a while now (the only thing stopping me really was my fear that blogging is a little egotistical in the sense that no-one else would have any interest in my thoughts and why should they?) however, my approach now has changed.
This blog will serve as a comprehensive and progressive record of the many conflicting ideas, thoughts and inspirations that I feel when working on any photographic project, but from a personal perspective. It will be my record of my feelings for my use, which of course I would be flattered if anyone would have any interest in. There will be moments of despair, moments of enlightenment and realisation (hopefully) and most probably there will be tears. But hey, its the internet - What better place to bear your soul for strangers to judge ?!
So strap in kids, second year is going to be one hell of a bumpy ride ...
