Tuesday, April 27
The warm weather we'd been experiencing died off today and the April showers returned. It hasn't been hailing or anything, so it hasn't been too bad. It's been quite windy though, and as I was walking home through Leeds uni campus, I spotted
a blossom tree whose petals had blown away, leaving the surrounding area looking as if it was covered in pink snow. It was very peculiar but most beautiful.
Yesterday at Swarthmore we learnt about tie-dying. It was great fun, and messy. Today at college I planned out what I'm doing next week, for my exam. I was despairing and ready to throw the whole lot away, but the tutor looked at my contact sheets and talked to me and all was well again. He said I had 16 images or so which were worthwhile printing, unlike the 3 I'd identified. I'm going to print all 16 at 7cm by 5cm each, and mount them on one board. The digital images I've already printed and mounted are staying as such, however I mounted one with a space above it for a new image, so either I have to find another photograph I want to display, or cut down the mountboard. Talking to the tutor gave me an egoboost, he said I was doing well and the images were good, I was just unskilled in spotting the best ones.
After college I went to see my psychologist. All went well, except he told me he's retiring at the end of November and moving to Switzerland. Hmm.
