First part completed moving on to Assignment 1

Well at long last i have waded through all the exercises leading to the first assignment.
The study materials arrived on 11th May and its taken a while to get this far , a little longer than expected due to various outside influences including a job change .

My honest opinion so far is that i have enjoyed some exercises and i thought some were rather dull and tedious, but hey ho all in the bag now so moving on......

I have been thinking about how i am going to tackle the assignment over the last couple of days , and will hold back a little until i receive guidance and advice from my tutor

Roland Barthes

Currently reading The Photograph by Graham Clarke and came across an interesting statement by Roland Barthes , the French literary theorist, philosopher and critic.

Whenever we look at a photograph we look at something which no longer exists. The moment has passed.

Never really thought of a photograph in that way before , but i don't think i could explain any clearer in so few words

Thinking ahead to assignment 1

Thought it may be a good idea to read ahead and see what images will be required for assignment one.

With this in mind i plan to make notes of scenes / objects when out and about that may be suitable for the assignment allowing me to crack on with it when all the projects are complete.
