I NO LONGER LIKE MISS V BARNETT AS SHE STOLE MY MOTIVATION AND THE TABLES HAVE TURNED!
Well what a stressful few weeks I have had. I seem to have been very busy but lacking in the motivation to do work. I know that I have been very slack with blogging recently and I am really annoyed at myself because I was really enjoying it at the beginning to see what everyone was up to and how they were progressing. This major comment update has shown me how well some people are doing and how they have nearly completed the project. Although I have not been on here for a while I have continued to shoot because the weather has been soo lovely - the only problem is I have been unable to get the films processed due to lack of funds. That is why I have not got any images to show you at this time. I was going to go out and shoot some more this afternoon but it seems to be a bit cloudy over this way - maybe a bit of ash in my pictures could work quite well :P
AS my previous posts have shown that I have been having a little bit of trouble with the overall subject matter for this project. The original idea of multiple exposures never evolved due to the fact that nobody is available to shoot as they work when I have days off and I have photographed strangers before and it can be a very scary thing to do. I have found myself taking the holga with me when I go out and I been taking quite a few random shots of the landscape and the surroundings whilst walking the dog.
Over the easter Holidays I have shot 4 rolls of film so far - although this does not seem alot 40 shots is quite a few to choose from and I will still continue to shoot at least 3 more. As I mentioned in my previous post I have also followed the route of taking the inside out. I am taking everyday household objects and photographing them outside in different locations. I am looking at brightly coloured objects that will stand out in the landscape. As well I bright objects I have gone for electrical items as well - i am experimenting with the multiple exposures and really thinking about the composition. I think this whole area is an experiment because the Holga work needs to be interesting and exciting.
I will hopefully have some money on Monday so on Tuesday morning I can pop to 20/20 and get them to process for me and have the images to show in the lesson and update with a more detailed post of my work - fingers crossed.
Where is 2010 going - I swear it was the start of the second semester a couple of weeks ago?!?!
