Well this is an epic post as it marks the return to the photoblogs sphere. I have been having to focus all my time on my degree BA Hons Interactive Media Production. It has gone really well and I can’t wait for the results Spots Kenya was my main Major and i also wrote a Dissertation looking into the aspects of online participation particularly the active and non active aspects of participatory online media. I want to publicly thank all those that have been a great help and inspiration throughout the completion of my uni degree. With particular thanks to…
Mik Parsons, Claudia Vieira, Joe Flintham and Marian Mayer.
This image is a bit of a trial photo really as I am just getting back into the way of new processing techniques and I thought that this was a good start.
Please let me know what you think of the overall strength of the image and if the proccessing lets it down.
It’s been an awesome few days what with finishing all my degree work and being up in london for a great graduation show. Check out www.screengrab09.com. Even having some possible investment into spots Keny
I have had about six potential employers show interest in http://spotsenya.com and the way it is all rounded from design to functionality especially my branding and photography. Check it out and tell me what you think.
It’s going to be great to to keep in contact over the next year with the industry even though I am going to be doing a gap year as a teaching assistent in bath at Monkton.
Has any one got any tips how to keep in contact with industry people.
I am sorry there has been such a delay in blog posts over the last few months.
Ooh and if you are in london cone to brick lane and see our screen grab show at the old Truman brewery.
Here’s a few pics of my time in london. It has so much to offer. From the new to the old.
Poor photocopier yes indeed.. we smashed this thing up as it need to be thrown in the skip and it was jolly fun. I couldn’t resist the photo opportunity with all the toner ink splattered around it..
I went for a very rustic and textured process here.
Sorry once again for my absence my Uni dissertation is taking up a great deal of time… Hope you like this though i have mad a special effort to get it out as i not posted for a while.
Well it has been an interesting few days for most Bournemouth University students. Why you may ask? Well on the 12th of march I received and email to my university email address. The email was basically about Boycotting costa coffee on campus as they charge too much for coffee.. Read it here…
It has now escalated to over 66 emails that have been replied to as people have clicked the reply to all function and it has then emailed their reply to almost 17,000 students. Its just amazing that more people haven’t hijacked it for there own good and to promote other things. The most annoying thing is those who have replied to all with one liners saying please don’t email me this!!
This is one quote from a twitter use that i thought was really good..
good to see that students propensity for revolution is still alive and well.. from this http://is.gd/nCpC to this http://is.gd/nCpL (http://twitter.com/scgpt/)
It is true as it seems to be the closet thing to student revolts that i have seen in my time here and thankfully not as violent as the some of the student protest that took place..
I personally think that yes it is too expensive to buy a cup of coffe at costa on our campus… currently at £2 for medium cappuccino. Other things like baguettes are around the £2.75 mark and is allot for a tiny little roll…
I just dont understand why the uni cant have their own student union coffee shops that sell coffee around campus in place of i believe 4 points of sale on the Talbot campus…at a cheaper price then use the profits that they do have to go back into the SU.
Obviously its not the workers fault as one email stated saying that they would protest at 10 AM tomorrow. This needs to be taken to the Chancellor and Vice Chancellor and to COSTA direct.
The best way would be for people to just not buy from COSTA at all but this is all very well as people will if its there.
The sad thing is that once these emails fizzle out and people get on with there other things COSTA will probably remain and maybe they will bring the prices down. I would hope that the Uni do make a statement about it and do address it.
heres the youtube video that has been circulated.
and heres the facebook group…
The great survey has commenced do it here if you haven’t already!!!
