Time for a bit of an update. There have been fewer posts recently but there have been reasons for that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A major one, which took up the first half of the year, was finishing my degree, which I started when I retired. I am pleased to say that I got a first on my BA in digital imaging and photography. <\/p>\n\n\n

Following on from my dissertation, the project involved a lot of time with the camera shooting several thousand images, which eventually ended up as about 60 images in a book I made myself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were several exhibitions of my work following on from that \u2013 not just the graduate exhibition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make life challenging, my house move finally came through at this time \u2013 the sale was confirmed about 6 weeks before I was due to make final submissions. The house move was the week after graduation. That was a very fraught period. I\u2019d lived in the house in Shropshire for nearly 25 years\u2026 that is an awful lot of stuff to go through. The move was a four day one: two days full pack, move day, then unload day. The move was 150 miles north to the north end of the Lake District.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The layout of the new house is very different. In common with many modern houses, it has fewer reception rooms and a large \u2018living space\u2019. I used to have three reception rooms designated as lounge, study, and music room. I have designated bedrooms which are now my office and music room. I have a lounge and a large kitchen\/dining\/living space. I have view of the mountains in the distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am working out what projects to undertake. It is my intention to offer training courses to people e.g. taking better landscapes, introduction to using Lightroom etc. I also intend to exhibit and sell my work.     <\/p>\n\n\n\n
