The Ipswich Project.

Whoooo my first official day at Uni was yesterday, and well minus the rain it was pretty good. We were set what I thought was going to be a fairly easy task to settle us in, but actually it turned out to be harder than i initially thought.
Aim of the task - Take 6 photographs relating to the following statements
          1.Things in a long line
          2.A bad smell
          3.A smile
          4.A red ball
          5.An ugly photograph
          6.A meaningless photograph.
So overall I'd say these would seem pretty obvious on what to do, but we wanted to think out the box and do something a little different. Although when it came round to taking the pictures we struggled a little for what to take for number 5 and 6 because what is an ugly picture, what one person may find ugly another may find beautiful ?.. and as for a meaningless photo does that mean it has no meaning to you or the object in the image has no meaning? so after a Long cuppa hot chocolate in costa, we got onto the task ahead and off out in the rain we went! And if at first you don't succeed try and try again. Three hours later, the photos are taken and printed off, ready for critique on Friday! Wish me luck ... Can you guess which picture goes with which statement ?.. Im off now but if you're ever need a little project to get your brain working, this is a nice one to try, ask a fellow student, your mum or dad to write a list or even use mine and see what you come up with!

Portfolio pictures.

So i just realized I'd posted about my Ipswich interview going really well, but didn't include any pictures that where included in my portfolio so i thought id put some up now.
One of the main themes inside my portfolio was telling stories through photographs, Although the exact story behind the images isn't obvious if you read between the lines it becomes more apparent.

I personally feel that as single images these may not be very interesting, but put together in group of three they reflect each other to create interesting stories.
