i'm at tafe and it's workshop week - that is why i am able to come to the library and blog, it's all very laid back.
I did a pin hole camera workshop for monday and tuesday while was good but i already knew how to do it all so i didn't feel like i was really learning anything new, except for using the 5x4 enlarger, but it's basically the same as the 35mm ones.
i took yesterday off, there were lectures on but sometimes you just don't feel like being around people so i went home and cleaned up a bit. i cleaned the kitchen and my room, and also did a couple of loads of washing. it's nice to have things tidy. i have decided that i'm going to go through my room and chuck away anything that i haven't used/needed/seen in more then three months. it will be a big and tough job but i think it's something i need to do.
oh, back to workshop week... Today and tomorrow i am doing a sun prints workshop, which is another photography one. it's a really cool method using a UV sensitive emulsion and any sort of thickish paper. you paint on the emulsion which is yellow and then place either a transperency with an image on it, objects or whatever you want really, and then take it out into the sun where the uv reacts with the emulsion. you leave it there for about 15minutes or until the emulsion goes a dark blue/grey and then take it back inside and wash the excess emulsion off. i'll post some pics of the results when i get a chance.
