A bit of step 5 (with a little step 28 thrown in for good measure)

Although I enjoy my Nikon, I also like the look of the 'instant' snaps I've been taking recently. This might be because they aren't finished, so I get to experiment more after I've taken them - I'm not really looking for a meaning right now, just aesthetics.  They clearly are unfinished but I like how they're providing a catalyst for further ideas - like a living sketchbook.  My finished work tends to be of a larger scale - the bigger, the better, really, but for now I'm having a lot of fun with these. I think this is what making work should be more about - not if it's conceptual enough, or too conceptual, and so on.  I think that a lot us tend to overthink work we enjoy making which leads us to making less and less of it.

A long overdue update!

It's been ages since I last updated my blog, so I just thought there's no time like the present.  I was complaining to a friend the other day about how guilty you feel when you don't keep up with making art work.  Or when you do, it doesn't convey what you want, so you end up making nothing.  Oh, the joys of finishing an art degree and winding up joining the rat race!  I'm sure loads of people end up having the same difficulty, but I also procrastinate quite a bit too, which doesn't help.  Anyway, while I was on a friend's Facebook profile (yeah, maybe not the most productive way to spend my free time either), I came across this and thought a picture says a thousand words...



So I've decided to get back in the game and do something creative (which doesn't involve organising my sock drawer or alphabetising my CD collection)
