Every week, we have a tutor called Irene for two hours. Irene specialises in photography (more old school than digital though) and she loves it. She's a bit eccentric which I like, but she tends to go on a bit when explaining things... However, I find that teachers who love their subject are the best, so I'm really looking forward to other sessions.
Anyway, this week we were inducted into the print room (we have to be inducted into everything and learn all the health and saftey rubbish, it's ridiculous), and taught us how to create photograms. Photograms really aren't that complicated, you just put an object onto photosensitive paper then expose it and develop it.
Here are the not very interesting ones I did when I was working everything out:
 |
| Flat sweet wrappers (from Quality Street) |
 |
| Screwed up wrappers and what appears to be an elephant. |
 |
| String. |
And here's some I did the next day once I'd got the hang of it:
 |
| Knitting. |
 |
| Obsession 1: Cranes. Aiming to use these as often as possible. |
 |
| The netting on my dress! I quite like it :) |
 |
| The little wire bike. |
 |
| Bit dodgy this one, didn't put it in the developer for long enough because I couldn't find the stopwatch (it's dark in a darkroom y'know...) It's cutouts of my morris costume and my choir uniform. Quite pleased with the different tones though, I wasn't expecting that. |

| Obsession 2: Buttons |
