Moving out, moving in.

out

in

It has been hectic to say the least, but, finally we have moved and are settling in to our new house. I have been so busy my camera has hardly seen the light of day, however last night I got clicking. My new house will be my new photographic project. I have been snapping film for later, but for now I can provide an image from my living room as a teaser.

Forever hanging boots

These boots have been hanging here for ever, I have been meaning to photograph them for at least a year now. I wonder if they will be there this time next year ?

Memory 1995

I am currently in the process of moving house so no pictures today. This is one of my memories, I think I can date it to around 1995. 

Did I or didn’t I see the boy? He was vivid in my sight and is still vivid in my memories. I knew, that at the time I was coming down gently off a fine cocktail of alcohol and class A’s, but there was more to it than that. I knew also that this was the first time back to Cornwall in at least a year, and that I had been on a wild adventure. I leaned my head to the left and then to the right pondering my age, eventually, after some consideration, I pin- pointed it to the time following my first return trip home from India, I had been 19. Frail in body and open in mind the apparition of the boy came to me. He was a young miner, he sat at the entrance to the mine, he was clothed in rags black with coal dust, but transparent, in his hand he held a pasty. He smiled and waved to me almost beckoning me to go by him. I saw him; I smiled and acknowledged him but did not go near. I asked my friend about the boy who was sitting at the entrance of the shaft, but on turning he was gone.

This was my first attempt at creating an online book, it was part of my HND final year project. I hope to make another one in the future. Maybe it is a little random, but this goes to prove that my work is advancing and that I am constantly thinking about how to make it more coherent, whilst preserving my individuality. Sometimes I feel like something is being taken away by the educational system, but then I realise how much learning gets done as time goes by. It is difficult sometimes to realise just how much is being gained. So far I have not blogged any new work, I am still in the searching faze, slowly and surely the randomness is fading. It won't be long.
