Level 6 Final Blog.

After due consideration and listening to my beautiful ladies Rose & Rach, I've decided to run one last blog in line with my journal for my final year. They seem to get some enjoyment from my images and  drunken ramblings on an evening.

Minor Project

Brief

Presentation

Frank Gohlke

Robert Volt

Lewis Baltz

Henry Wessel

Stephen Shore

John Schott

Amy Stein

I'm using an Olympus OMD 5 to carry out test images and will be carrying it around every day incase I come across subjects I feel may work for the various projects. Reviewing the images I will then carry out the majority of my work on a 4x5 wista with back up images on my square format Bronica, a mixture of both colour and black and white images, with my presentation all ready decided.

Looking forward to the challenge, but not the presentation. LoL
