Day 240

ok, so it wasn't hayfever.  woke up with the most awful headcold and i had a full day ahead of me that i could not get out of.....
boy and i helped a friend from school out today with a shoot for his final series of work for the year.  we weren't assisting but modeling, and to add to the shame of it all we were in role reversal.  i figured i deserved to be in such a shoot for payback(in a round about way) to two of my mate's that i made do the same thing back in my first year - although i made them do it in a much more public way.
back into the studio at the end of the day for a shoot with the pitch models.  headshots for them all for a competition to win them a portfolio shoot with a talent agency.

Day 218

i was contacted during the week to shoot some workshops that were happening in town with a group of refugee's, who were working together to create an exhibition, The Mixing Room: stories from young refugees in New Zealand. the exhibition is for te papa, and i am simply documenting the process, but there is a possibility that they will be shown with the exhibition at te papa.
today they had a creative writing workshop, not the easiest thing to photograph in an interesting way, but it was interesting to witness, and listen to.
next weekend i am shooting a screenprinting workshop, which should be a little easier.
tomorrow i have to give a presentation/talk to the first years at school about me, and my work, etc.   eeeeek.  so tonite i had to create my presentation.....so i went into school to finish it, along with working on the last of the wedding photos which we are giving to the clients tomorrow.  i seriously have no idea what i am going to talk about tomorrow....it's all just ugh.

Day 206

got off my arse today and went into the studio to shoot some of the shots for my 'exhibition' series.  all seemed pretty simple really.....too simple.....still trying to figure out if this is a good thing or not.  should i really be berating myself in creating a simple image to get my point across?

Day 153

finally went back into school today and sorted out my space. it had been taken over at the end of last term by the design student's assignments, so i needed to reclaim my space. i had taken down the print outs of my blog images down from my house a while ago, having decided that actually having in them in my lounge was not the best place for them. so now they decorate my space in at cpit.
