It has been an interesting and challenging six months with lockdown and working harder that ever. I’m sure anyone working in education whatever their role will understand having to completely transform their professional practice and the amount of hours needed just to keep your head above water. Though I have taken photos and been engaged in talks and reading about photography my aim now is to get back to a more detailed plan for completing the Foundation in Photography course by December.
Before lockdown, I remember visiting London and seeing the Dora Maar exhibition at the Tate, the V&A photography rooms (loved the work of Linda McCartney, what a revelation), and seeing the Wildlife Photographer of the Year winning images at the Natural History Museum. I came away feeling completely inspired, only not to have any time to follow up and consequently loosing impetus
I’m a strong believer that for creative work sometimes you just have to dive in and get started. If you wait for inspiration to strike, you may have a long wait (well I know I would). So here goes, watch this space and wish me luck! I’m looking forward to the challenge.
