Overdue Deadline

Up to this point I havn't been entirely sure exactly what I was going to do for my assessment, I knew what I was saying but was it good enough and could I present it?

Now I am confident. I have several peices of lightly manipulated work which fit to my theme. Multiple photo montages and lots of work which hasn't been manipulated and won't be since it is unnecessary to spoil the natural shots.

This term I haven't managed to work to the deadline. The fact that other class members haven't either is no excuse but does indicate that some of the factors contributing to this delay have been beyond our control.

For homework I have researched the magnum photo agency - more in another post. A very influential photographer was Jonas Bendiksen. Admittedly lots of my work was complete by the time I researched Jonas but his work overemphasized the fact it was possible to mix unedited work with manipulated work to tell a story.

Never the less the work is almost done. I need to complete my written work, print and mount my images and then I will be ready for assessment - only two weeks after the deadline!
