Lincoln Photo Project #1

Hellllooo!!!

For the last week or so Alyssa, Whitney and I have been putting a great deal of time into a photography project that is due in on Friday. It has been a long and stressful adventure at times, but I feel it is soon going to pay off.

Our project brief was to capture an image for a book cover. The book is Rachel Carson's Silent Spring and it has to do with human destruction of nature. The requirement is that it is shot n fujifilm. The only issue there is that we had to check out a camera which was less than pleasant. Not the checking out part... the using part. My (along with my comrades') first two rolls were shot and we were running out of time. We reshot Tuesday morning and had some success!

Anyway, here are my final shots. Two of them I will submit to be marked and the lonely tree will... well, remain quite lonely! I hope you like them! : )

'Ello Darlings!

Hi All! I just wanted to write for a bit to let you know I am still alive!

We made it to Heathrow on Thursday morning and then Tom (our professor) met us and drove us up to Lincoln. It is absolutely beautiful here and I am having a great time!

The jetlag was a bit of a butt kicker! It amazes me how odd it is to get used to a 6 hour time change!

Nick and Liz came up to visit me for the weekend! It was so wonderful seeing them! I find it hard to believe that I have not seen Nick in over 2 years, and Liz since the summer, and it still feels like it has been a matter of months or weeks since our last meeting! Some things don't seem to change a whole heck of a lot and it is a comfort that is nice to hold on to when there seems to be nothing but change in daily life. I have a feeling that the few constants in my life may be what I hold on to when times get tough in the next 5 months.

All of us American girls were taken out for a proper night on the town this Saturday and it was fun! Wow, can the brits drink!

Anyway! I suppose I better go meet up with the others. The radio stations want to ask us our takes on Obama taking his place as President today! We went to BBC Lincoln this morning and now will be interviewed by Linx FM and then Siren, the Uni's radio station.

Right, I am off, but will try to come back on later and do a better job of this blogging business!

Love! x
