Done.

In the words of Jeff Buckley - HALLELUJAH !!

After seeing both tutors on Thursday afternoon i received positive feedback about my work displayed both online and in my sketchbook.

I am extremely happy as i actually put a huge amount of effort into my sketchbook covering everything from Ethics to Basic Photography skills.

I am overjoyed to finally be done with this module and get stuck into another project but first lets chill OUT.

Finito

Dearest,

Having had my last shoot today (which was sport) i am now massively relieved to have all of my photos stored online neatly tucked away into separate pages.

I finally have an idea of how to blog and how to display my work digitally !! joyful joyful !! I rewarded myself a meal out with my friend at the Arc in Headingley, I had a Catalan dish to remind me of my recent trip to Barcelona.  I feel self bribery works well and gets my work done, so maybe next on the list can be a pair of Kurt Geiger's? :)

Today's plan of attack is to get to grips with illustrator in the library and create an Issuu document so i can publish my work in a magazine format.
Also i intend on printing out my images today as contact sheets, so the evil printer strikes again and delves into my purse for my precious pounds.

It's going to be a long day. But a productive one at that.

Aloha,

Blog Virgin

Dear World,

Welcome to my blog.
This is surreal, I suppose this is somewhere I can exhibit my images to the whole wide world and recieve the good , the bad and the ugly comments that will transform me into the great Gilles Bensimon... So lets go.

With this blog I hope to deliver my innermost thoughts along with each image/post to express to you my mood of the day and feelings towards my work and surroundings.

I'm rarely nervous but I'll bite my fingernails in frustration to get the perfect shot.

I am my own worst critic.

I'll finish my first post with a quote from my German Grandma who has inspried me to be creative and strive for success... I love her.

"Good, better, best,
May you never rest,
until your good is better
and all your better best."
