Catching up, Results and What's Next
It’s been a while since I did a proper blog post. There’s been quite a few things going on. The college is now fully committed to being a part of this year’s FreeRange exhibition, work is starting on my final self-initiated project, UCAS applications for third year study have been sent off and we’ve had a talk from Laura Pannack. All of which I’ll go into more detail with individual posts over the next couple of days.
Recently, I received the results for the photography degree work I produced last term. I also met with my tutor to discuss the results and the work I'd be doing next.
The mark I had gotten was an indicative scoring and proved to be much more than I had expected. The course is run in association with Staffordshire University and has a fairly complicated marking system. But in simple terms, work is marked out of a total of 15. I got an indicative grade of 12. That essentially means I’m at Merit level, on the cusp of a Distinction. Anyway, I’m pleased with what I’ve got!
This term will also mean that I have to produce a final self-initiated project. I discussed my ideas with my tutor. I’m looking to do something which I can get really involved with. I seem to be more focused on street and documentary photography lately. So maybe I can somehow combine the two. Certainly the street aspect would be useful for Format 2011. I certainly have a strong desire to photograph people more, typically my work is absent of people. I have been considering doing something relating to a drug and alcohol rehabilitation centre, but am now pursuing doing something around the General Election that should take place this summer.
