Its been a while...

I have been meaning to post some new work on my blog but with pressures of my 3rd year in higher education, poor planning and preparation on my behalf I have failed to do so. I continue to produce work I'm not fully in to or happy with, I think it is due to the amount of self analysis and questioning that is involved with a photography degree, with that in mind I have found that I may be catagorised into the pigeon hole of a photographic phenomenolgist, a flaneur. I strive to capture personally significant, yet transient moments which stand as a metaphor something that is larger than what is actually represented in the moment when the shutter was pressed.confused? i am .... but i like it.

one image a week

As a result of entering in to my 3rd year of studying photography i have been the victim of thinking and over thinking about everything i must do. By attempting to constrain what i photograph i have ended up struggling to enjoy taking and making photos. I went out the night before last with the objective of photographing some people in the evening light. I went to Par beach , with no success .. all the people down there were dog walkers and they didn't seem right for me. then I went to Carlyon bay, its a beach that if you look out to sea its beautiful, but if you face the other way.... the land is scarred with a half completed Luxury development halted by a recession and local opposition.

shared experience. a walk in the woods. an image a week.

I am struggling to attach meaning to the many photographs I take. I have zeroed in on the shared experience of feeling a need to be outside.... that is not dependent on wether the sun is shining or not. But just to feel what is happening outside rain, wind, sun .... and treat them all the same. its a tough one really i just like taking photographs and the process of explaining what you just do naturally is not natural to me at the moment.

making the most of it.

Even when it rains i want to be outside. When I went for a walk I found some people who feel the same way.
