Day 4
19th April 2012
I asked people to close their eyes and simply think about how they feel their projects are going; I chose to do this because I wanted to capture each individual’s emotion. Once I had left them to ponder these thoughts for a minute or so, I asked them to open their eyes and look directly into the camera; the moment they did so I took a photo. The reason I chose to take this...

Day 3
18th April 2012
Today has mainly been a day of reflection; I have spent today looking through my notes and research and refreshing my mind of this. I have also sorted through my research file and put it into order, such as typing up journal entries so I have back-up copies.

I have recently purchased a Pentax ME Super 35mm film camera off eBay, a camera I have had my eye on for a while. Although I already owned a film camera, it is automatic, and I much prefer the analogue film cameras.
