Another rainy day in England

The other day, I was working on my project that had a deadline to the following day. It was just before midnight that -not surprisingly- it started to rain. The rain that was hitting my window seemed so inspiring that i had to stop working on my project and take my camera out.

Surely, taking a picture of rain marks on a window seemed dull, there had to be something, or someone in the picture. Since I was alone in my room, my only option was to create a self-portait. So I did.

Placed the camera on top of two Nutella jars, pointed at the window and made sure that my reflection was in the picture. Probably took about 150 images because it was hard to go back and look at the images, considering that the camera was placed on a very unbalanced surface. Yet, I managed to capture a self-portrait, that I was very pleased with.

One other thing that caught my attention was my pin-boards reflection on the window. When combined with the florescent lamp, the colours and the outline of the posts on the pin-board created and image that is hard to figure out at first glance.

The humorous, quirky and observational moment

Today, Gary Salter came to the Arts University as a guest speaker. Unlucky enough, I was poorly so I could not attend.
It's quite upsetting that I have missed the chance to meet him considering that there is not a single image yet that I don't like of his.

Most of the time, you can tell if an image is taken by Gary Salter; he has a style of his own and i like that about his work -and also his sense of humour which reflects through his work. From my point of view, he is top 3 at what he does and he definitely is at where I would desire to be in the future.

I am going to try and contact him for my work placement this year, and hopefully, i'll get to learn from his experiences.
