There is nothing as mysterious as a fact clearly described.
Garry Winogrand

This is the starting point for my next visual practise module so with this in mind, I've been out and have taken a few rolls of film to see what I could come up with.

My aim was to go out and take photographs around Basford recording 'facts clearly described'.





 
 
 
Once these have all been checked over with my tutor, I will be hand printing them in the colour darkroom and hopefully using them towards my final selection of images. My next step is to return to Basford with a camera, some film and a 50mm lens to take more photographs and also work on some research looking at the likes of Walker Evans and William Eggleston.

I've been back at university two weeks this term and already I've had to do a presentation on a chapter based on photography as art in my critical practise seminar which took up the whole two hours. Even though I did critical practise in college, I'm beginning to enjoy it a lot more now at university; reading about different views and movements in both photography and art.

I've also been set my next assignment for my reps and cons module so I will do a proper update once I have images to show for it!
