CATCHING UP ON BLOG POSTS

I've been really busy shooting my major project final images recently, that I've not had much time to blog on here.

I currently have a large piece of paper titled "blog entries todo", which keeps getting longer and longer, so I thought it was about time I ticked a few off the list.

My last blog entry was a rather negative one, as I had just lost my stylist with only a few days until I was due to shoot my first batch of final images.

From studying in first and second year, I realised that an aspect of my work that really suffered was time-keeping - I find it hard to motivate myself to work until time forces me to do so. Due to the importance of third year I really tried to correct this and prepare everything earlier on.

I therefore met the stylist in December, and emailed on and off for 3 months to arrange the shoot. This preparation made it all the more infuriating when the son-of-a-bitch cancelled on me two weeks before shoot time.

Don't actually think the punk had even begun to arrange clothing for me - never emailed with any confirmations nor any interest in meeting up again to view the clothing.

So anyway, after sending over 40 emails to london-based stylists I managed to find 1 within 5 days of my shoot.

Happy in the end, as both my stylist and hair/mua have been a great team.

As of today, I am 14 images done, with only 1 more to shoot.

By this time tomorrow I will have shot them all.

Then a hell of a lot of editing ahead of that.

I'll start uploading some of them to this blog, as I'm working on them.

How is everyone else getting on? It seems the uni blogging has slowed down quite a lot, and I'm really interested in seeing other people's tests/finals.
