Busy week

The realisation struck me today, that even as an infrequent blogger, I’m not actually saying much about what I’m doing to move myself toward my eventual goal stated on the Unknown Snapper blog description!

Since I’m currently southbound on a train from Crapsviille (home) to civilisation (London) I thought I’d bung up something of my current activities!

This week is a bit on the busy side – Today I’m transiting through Civilisation on my way to Ruralshire (just the other side of the city), the plan is that I lodge with friends overnight, before zipping to Wales for a uni interview tomorrow. Tonight will probably be spent re-jigging my portfolio until I’m 100% happy with it and running through the written interview task again to make sure I’m happy with the wording.

Tomorrow (Wed) will be an early start so I can zip over to Wales and have an interview at one of the three universities I’ve applied to for photographic courses. I know I have to keep plugging away at things to get where I want, so the higher education is just one route of three that I’m working on (Plan A of A, B & C), will be overjoyed if I get a place at any of those I’ve applied to as all look to be top notch establishments from the standard of work available to view.

Thursday is now mostly a free day with one meeting in the evening between Demotix and some of it’s contributors, as someone who hopes to contribute rather soon, should prove to be a very interesting meeting. And as most of the day is free I’m hoping to bugger off to some of the galleries (it seems like an aeon since I last visited the Photographers Gallery!).

Last (and by no means least), thanks to a very kind soul, I have been granted an hour to have a career guidance chat on Friday with a very well respected former broadsheet picture editor. Something I’m really, really excited about. This chap has been at the top of his game and I’m really looking forward to sitting down and talking to him.

All things said and done, quite a stimulating week! Will have to pop up another post and tell all after.
