It was with some trepidation that I opened the box titled: "Urgent Educational Material" but I could not have been more excited if it had said: "Contains Brand New Kidney for transplant " This will be my learning log to accompany the BA course in photography. Although I have been taking photographs for a long time, I had been looking for a project which makes me think about the images I make, giving me both a technical and academic challenge but at the same time gives me some kind of official endorsement. I am looking forward to the various exercises and assignments although at the moment it has taken me a few days to get this page up and I have no idea what is supposed to go into this blog that does not bore my tutor to tears. I welcome any thoughts and handy hints.
