UPDATE: University
Well, I don't think this post is going to be a happy one at all!
About 3 months ago I got my acceptance letter to go to Grimsby University. I know it isn't a fantastic place but, it was convenient for me. And When I got that letter I was over the moon to know I'd be going on to study further in what I would class as my future career.
So I've been prepared for that ever since!
THEN, along comes another letter in the post about....over a month ago saying that the course has been deferred to next year because unfortunately not enough students applied for the course. HOW GUTTING IS THAT? I am actually really gutted. I got my place, I got accepted, got my finance sorted out. And then that letter really set me back. Genuinely upset about it because I knew that this was the right time for me to go off.
A fresh start, almost?
Of course I signed the part where it said that I can be considered onto next years application straight away, but there's still no guarantee that the course would even go on. And to be fair, I don't think it will. It wasn't the ONLY course that was cancelled at this University this year, and everyone is really miffed off to be honest.
Best part is, is that I got offered onto another course to do with Filming? What even?
Yes, it is a digital photographic type of course, BUT...how can that really relate to commercial photography? If I wanted to do filming I'd have applied for it. Thanks though?
Like, yes they're so similar in some ways, but they're also in every way different.
Arrr, the whole thing infuriates me! But I don't think I'm going to wait til next year anymore. I'm doing rather well just the way I am with my page and my followers.
Thanks for all the endless support I've been given over the past 2 years of being 'public'.
Means so much. :)

Well christ it's been one heck of year!
I haven't posted for 8 months! That's crazy. But so much stuff has happened in that time.
I've been to a fair few places and photographed a variety of things. This year for me, it's been mostly about not so much photographing people. But more landscapes and street scenes.
The next few posts will be about the different places I've been and the things I've produced in this time.

Hard To Be Wise
Okay so last Wednesday I told you about a photoshoot I was doing of a bunch of lads druing band practice, one of which I knew from a long time ago, and it went really well!
They were all so lovely, and although their style of music is by far not my cup of tea in regards to Genre, I loved it. It was absolutely amazing. Everyone's playing part was perfect, and although they said after the song they finished practicing that that particular time they sang it was "Sh*t" it wasn't it was actually wonderful, if that really was their idea and sounding of rubbish, then they must be awesome when they have it spot on.
Outstanding performance and day. I really enjoyed it and hope to see them again soon for a shoot in the studio or on location. :)
Below are just two of the images I took. You can find more at my photography page. :)

So I haven't been on here in a while!!
So, a short update is needed!
I haven't been on here in a while because I've actually done so much stuff, and I've been way too busy to even write anything!
What's more...my new camera hasn't even come yet which is making me sad a bit :( haha. But hopefully that will get sorted out today. If worse comes to worse...I'll be £200 well off again anyway, which I could REALLY do with right now! But I'm going to stay positive and hope that Royal Mail are just taking the pee a bit. -.- it's been a good couple of weeks now though so I'm starting to become impatient.
On the other hand, I'm doing a photoshoot with my friend (and model) Jess, on Thursday afternoon in Cleethorpes...and hopefully the weather will stay dry otherwise it's just going to go to ploppp. :) but that should be lots of fun!
I'll write about last Wednesdays photoshoot of Hard To Be Wise, in a separate post including a few images!!! :D
