Crit and Self Assessment
Yesterday we presented our Minor project to the group. The crit was an assessment point and so it felt odd not to receive any feedback or comments from the tutors. I’m hoping the fact that they had no questions meant that the concepts within the work had been sufficiently explained. It was the first time that I had […]

Exhibition Events Cont…
“Snapshot collections, like home movies, reveal most photographer’s reluctance to create visual stories or visual narratives. The narrative remains in the heads of the picturemakers and on-camera participants for verbal telling and re-telling during exhibition events.

Found Imagery?
My initial thoughts were to use the imagery that I’d found on the broken laptops that my partner repairs but having gone through these they don’t really communicate anything relevant for the piece as I imagine it. My thoughts have been to keep continuity with the past piece in which I’d actually purchased discarded slides specifically […]

Snow Go
Dissertation feedback was due this week and we’ve been unable to attend uni due to the heavy snowfall. Pete contacted me saying he had recorded the Chris King talk and I would be welcome to a copy which is fantastic news. In the talk Chris King pretty much said what I would ask he repeat […]
