Presentation Formal Intervention

My presentation went better than I had anticipated .... I'm very happy to say! Mine may not have been the best or the most interesting or the most exciting, but I did it. I felt a little shaky to begin with but once I got going I felt fine.

I did enjoy listening to the other students presentations, there were some great ideas and some great work. Simon is very enthusiastic about his photography and that shone through in his presentation. Nancy's idea was I felt quite original, and it was easy to tell that she has thoroughly enjoyed the Assignment.

When everyone had finished, I felt that having not been as motivated as I was last year, and not having engaged with the work as well as I could have this term, that I have missed out. The process reminded me why I am here, why I decided I wanted to study a Photography Degree, and that the only way forward for me now, is to start enjoying the course again and to actively engage with what I'm doing. We are given lots of opportunities and those opportunities will only last as long as I am here.

Next week is the deadline to hand in our Sketch Books, photographs and other Research. We have a "Mini Exhibition."  I am not completely happy with what I have done so far, and it is too late now to do much more. I can only finish off my research and sketch book, and write my final reflections and evaluations.

My final Image is going to be a Cabbage. For me it epitomises the Human Intervention in the Allotment. The cabbage seems to be the most popular vegetable grown in the Allotment and it also fulfills the Formal Elements criteria.



I've added this Image as it is one of my favourites from the Medium Format 120 Film Shoot
