Self Portrait Photo's
A bit late in the day, I admit, but we got up super early to go rock jumping with some friends and only just got back :).
So this weeks self portrait photo also includes last week's as I couldn't show it last week due to some *ahem* technical issues. (thanks Google!)
Last week I returned from Canada and was KNACKERED!!

Falmouth: Interview #2.
So. I have already heard back from Falmouth- in record time!
Sadly they decided not to offer me the place. In some ways this annoys me, as I know I would be perfect for a photography degree there, and would be a really successful member of the course. It also really annoys me, because of how poorly the interview went. I felt that they didn't ask me enough in the interview to actually get to know me and determine whether or not I would be a good candidate. I also felt that because during the interview they said that they thought I should do the diploma, that by not giving me the place on the degree program they have essentially made the decision for me. Not really fair.
On the other hand however, I had already decided that if I was offered the place, I wouldn't accept it, and that I wanted to do the diploma. The photography degrees in England are highly creative. This is good if you want to be an 'artist' exhibiting in galleries and the like, but not so good if you want to run your own business. 3 years of creative work is a long time. Plus, having spoken to many photographers about this subject, very few have photography degrees and have said that you only need them if you want to teach, however you do get to use amazing equipment for free. (Well, not free- its now 9,000 GBP a year.......)
So I had already decided that I wanted to do the one year diploma, and then take some other courses such as business or some specific photography classes rather than a full degree. So I shouldn't be upset.......... yet I am. I have an annoying need to be good at stuff, and to prove that I am good and worthy to other people. The fact that I was declined a place on a degree is a bit of a hit in the stomach. But as one of my housemates pointed out to me- "
At least they didn't ask you any questions about you. Therefore they declined you based on something other than you. They don't know you, and if they did, they might rethink their decision. It's their problem that they didn't bother to get to know you. Their loss, not yours."
So yeh.....

Two weeks on the Island: Tofino and the Pacific Rim Whale Festival (Part 2)
Finally getting around to sharing the rest of these photos. As there were so many photos I wanted to share from our weekend get-away to Tofino, I have split them into separate posts! Here is part 2 :)
We begin with the journey to/from Tofino which included a stop at a small market town on the highway; Coombes, plus Cathedral Grove and another small town; Whippletree Junction.

Cathedral Grove
ALL of the next few shots are from the same small-town market. I think they show how eclectic the market is perfectly.
The English shelf :)
Marzipan!
hahahah
The whole market is full of these beautiful lanterns. So pretty :)
Wig anyone?!
A little stop off on the journey up to Tofino resulted in a discovery of this old typewriter.
Back to the lodge now...

Weekly Word Photo- "Catching"
Hehe I love the word randomiser! Recently it seems to give me something that relates to my week, and I love that.
This weeks word was 'catching'. So, you ask- how does that fit into my week!? Well you see, this week was my housemate Edd's Birthday. He is a geek. Truly. So we had a Pokemon party for him last night! We all dressed up as one of the 150 classic Pokemon characters, and had relevant themed games during the night. Edd's character for the night, was 'Ash' the Pokemon trainer- who has to CATCH all of the different characters (by doing a shot and taking a picture with us!) throughout the evening.....
So admittedly this photo is therefore not really very serious or artistic, but just a bit of fun!

Friday Fun
This week has flown by. I can't believe just how quickly it has gone!!
I found this weeks video on A Cup of Jo, but I have seen it all over the place since then. Even my housemates have watched it. God knows where they found it!
Enjoy!
