College has been all pro-formas and essays just lately, the dreaded time when a unit is about to end and you suddenly realise you have shoots to write up, last minute editing and you have lost the notes, files ect for the shoot you did way back when in September so to summerise it A bit manic! on the plus side some of my classmates and myself had a four days away in Krakow, Poland which has by far been the biggest highlight of my time at college, (why couldn't we have come up with this idea a year earlier? ) anyway krakow was brilliant, the food, people and the place was a real inspiration. One of the many highlights of the trip was a vist to the cracow school of art and fashion design where we where given a warm welcome and a wonderful demonstration on Gum printing by Jerzy Gawet of of the founders of the college along with some German students who where studying there.
Other highlighlits of the trip where the old town and its wonderful architechture a day spent wandering the banks of the frozen river Wista with the hasselblad and a trip to Auscwitz which was very humbling and made you realise exactley how lucky we are.
Anway back to the graded unit and Im about to start making some of my prints which is going to be an eye opener due to the fact I have never printed on anything bigger than 8x10 before so I look forward to making some bigger 12 x 16 prints.
