First Semester.

First semester is finished, I can't beleive how fast it went. I got my grade back for all my work, and I'm very pleased.

I looked at my Grandmother a lot this semester, as she is dying and suffers from dementia. Our third breif was 'Objects of Desire', so I looked at her body as an object that she is leaving behind through her dementia and through the process of dying. My final outcome consisted of 3 16x20 inch black and white dark room prints, and another peice containing a collection of colour photographs. They all contained a mixture of portraits and the traces she leaves behind in her home.

My studio space, dont know if you can see much, but its a collection of research and development. Better photos soon, promise;


Now we have to write our own brief, which is exciting. I'll be working on it over the Christmas holidays, so I'll keep this up to date with ideas.

Hopefully the new year will bring better luck than 2010.

Cyanotype

I made some cyanotype prints this week;

The images above were taken with my Ensign Selfix 420, on 120 film that used to belong to my Grandfather. I found it in my attic earlier on in the year. I never met him so it means a lot to me. The above image was taken in my bathroom, and the lower one of the window sill in my parents house - it didnt work so well as the negative was too dark.

Some more prints, 120 film from my holga;

The above three images were taken at Armchair Books in Edinburgh.
