The Cove Studio

I headed into The Cove at College this morning with my Digital and Medium Format Cameras fully intending to practice shooting portraits of my "Author," and some experimental shots of my book cover ideas. But there were too many of us there and it was too chaotic for me; I really like to take my time and it made me realise that I do need quiet and solitude when I'm working.

On Sunday I had experimented a little with my Book Cover idea and shot some images of my "Seven Letters," but I wasn't having any great success being creative with this idea, and I'm not sure if it is going to work, (I know its early days yet; I will try again. I thought I would experiment with another idea today.

I walked into town to find an "Eye." In a later chapter of The Invisible Man, the main character and "Brother Jack" are having a heated debate, during this debate "Brother Jack's" glass eye pops out, and he places it in a glass of water. I think this might work better than the Seven Letters.

But it was much later in the afternoon when I finally had the opportunity to take some shots, I practised the Rembrandt Lighting with Sophia as my sitter and brought home the Eye to experiment at home.

I think that I was not in the right frame of mind today, I feel exhausted from having been working on our various assignments every day without much of a break, and must admit that I do feel as though all I'm doing is working.
