This week we looked at the college art show and I was fairly impressed. There was some really high quality work and I hope to be doing work like some of theres this time next year. We went to staffs university a few weeks ago to look at the students photography work. There were some really creative work. There were a few pieces aimed at old toy collection. It was expanded on the wall and filled the frame. It was really grainy looking but it gave it a old looking image which I liked. There was another piece where someone had cut out characters in a book and made them look like pop ups in a book.                 I liked this because it told a story about the book he or she had aimed it on. It opened my mind to other areas and inspired me to think about ideas which are aimed at different areas of photography. This last year has been really good. I have learnt an awful lot over the year. I have got an awful lot more confidence to get out and try and achieve ideas instead of just thinking of them. I can use a camera in manual and also use photoshop in a lot more detail. The main thing I feel I need to improve on is just open up and try out other genres in photography which I intend to do in the second year.
