Did some research!

I forgot to mention that it was christian and graham that first showed us alex humphreys work when we first started so thankyou!!!

Yesterday i tried to make a decent start on the reportage work of leeds that i needed to do seperate from the group work that we're currently doing, i started off by having a look on http://www.leodis.net/ for old pictures of leeds, because i grew up in leeds i wanted to find old photographs of the areas that i already know but shown in a different era.

<-----Look i know where that is! Its an absolute dump now though (one of them estates you avoid), i used to live just a few minutes walk away and always used to walk the long way around to the shop just so i wouldn't have to walk through it!

But anyway, the point i was trying to make is that even though you live somewhere and you think you know everything and everywhere there is always another side if you just look for it.


Also after i did a bit of research on leeds i decided to take some pictures of my own, so i started at the doors of college and walked down to the train station, every 100 steps i took a picture of straight ahead and the floor; where i am where i'm going. I thought i'd do that because i didn't have a clue what i was going to take photos of but i knew where i was going, so there you are! I actually got some quite interesting images!

Whilst i'm here i really thought i should comment on the work of one ex vis com student called alex humpreys (i think thats it) that i thought did i great project named 'the husband project'. To put it basically she based her project purely on just trying to find herself a husband, the first entry in her blog shows her initial attempts to capture the eye of a fella along with the help of an interesting dialogue from her housemate; which to my suprise actually got quite a bit of interest!

I think i find this quite interesting because she took quite a different approach to a project and i think that i am often quite similar in the way which i work. Whilst looking through her blog there are various area that i find myself linking my own work to. Can't believe it made the news! Feel quite bad for her though, because even after all the effort she put it by the end of the course she was single and just left on internet dating sites, oh well at least a great project came out of it!

Have a looksies:

Well here we go!

At the moment i just don't have a clue, trying to think of a first post is a hard job, afterall its the first one that people will read when they come to view your blog, and afterall i don't want to look stupid so i best say something smart.... erm... you've got to be joking, me say something smart?

Well here we are anyway, i'll give it my best shot...
