Well I am really enjoying a project we have been given lately, it is all about experimentation and creating prints that we would not normally produce. I have been focusing on cyanotypes and liquid emulsion prints but I would really enjoy making some salt prints too. Another project we have been giving is very interesting, basically we have to take the story of 'Alice in Wonderland' and shoot 4 scenes from it to produce 4 A4 sized prints. It seems like very good fun but I have been struggling to think of ideas for my shoot, another annoying thing is that it has to be all in digital and because I don't own a digital camera (except the one on my phone)it requires me to borrow peoples cameras and other things. The other project is a simple location project requiring 2 to 4 16x12 inch prints of two locations of our choice. Overall I am enjoying the ND photo course but the teaching could be improved a lot, it just lacks structure as half the time we never even seem to have a teacher with us!

In other news I have recently got my hands on a Lubitel 166 Universal, for free! My brothers friends dad saw my old Agfa Isola I had round my neck and he went inside and fetched it out the loft. I was speechless! I was asking for a TLR camera for my birthday (was going to ask for a Seagull TLR camera) but now I don't have to ask for an expensive camera (my parents are going to be happy) but I may ask for a Holga instead as they are cheap and I love how the negatives turn out with all the light leak and vignetting, it just looks fun. Also I have sent off my super 8mm cine film of our classes trip to the Yorkshire dales to be developed and I should be getting it back tomorrow! I just need a bulb for my Nans projector and I will be able to view it! as well as all of her old films, should be rather fun seeing how it came out.

Anyway I have ranted on about stuff for ages. Thanks for all the comments, favs and watches.
