One of the obvious ways to record the passing of
time is with a camera and as such it takes time.
I recently produced a printed overview of my own digital photographs and deleted years of junk in the process. The exercise was a good means by which to evaluate a 14 year stockpile. Whilst various lessons had been learnt along the way the difference between snapshot and the focused attempt to produce art became clearer by seeing the project through to completion. We were all introduced to photography at art school but I was more interested in painting at the time having been denied the video course I'd gone to Winchester for after the equipment was stolen before we first years even arrived.
I've since been trained in video and bookbinding on the job, the Lord restores the years the locusts have eaten. However, the brochure did sell me a degree course that wasn't delivered for various reasons. To add to video and bookbinding I recently won a free course at the Oxford School of Photography having come second in a Jericho Art photography exhibition. The four week course taught me more about photography than 3 years at Winchester Art School but then I wasn't on the photography course back then as mentioned.
