Decisions, Decisions...Option b

Well, you know what they say about good intentions ....

Due to work dropping off, hopefully not for long, I am dropping on to the City & Guilds 7512, until work and money improve, so below is the blog address that I am using for the course:

this blog will continue, although some of the newer posts may remain as drafts until I officially rejoin the course.

Previous Projects

Having taken photographs for a number of years, I have been called up on to produce photographs for other people.  These include some of the companies that I have worked for who have asked me to photograph events, etc.

These include:

• Location photo shoot for Julia B for the promotion of her sailing single handed across the Atlantic, to raise money for charity (this image was printed in the Derbyshire Now magazine which did a write up on the event, unfortunately my name was not credited to the photograph)       
• Location Photo shoot for a local rock band, during a practice session, for an article for the Burton Mail (the images were provided but never used, as the interview with the band never took place)    
• Photographs taken at an employer's site of some of their new plant which were for sales leaflets, the companies logo was photo edited onto some of the newer plant (no credit to these photographs were printed on these leaflets)
• Photographs taken at another employer's property, for their internal magazine, to feature some of the fund raising events for charities. Some of this work was also used for promoting the event in advance (the Christmas Fair 2005 charity event for Rainbows Children's Hospice, which culminated in the 'Weakest Link' competition was an opportunity to produce photo edited graphics both before and during the event)
• Photographs, and videos, taken of another local band for promotion and business cards.

The Undiscovered Country

William Shakespeare, once described the future as the Undiscovered Country.

Not that I am an expert in literacy, as it also was the title of a Star Trek movie !

I have studied photography from level 2 (NCFE) up to a level 3 CG7512 diploma at Burton College.  Previously I have studied courses in business, computers, administration, etc also at the college.

This course will combine other previous courses and could lead to a new career direction for me.


The big decision for me involves the cost, so watch this space !
