The shorter man’s hand shot out, making James flinch back. “Hi, I’m Percy!”

James cleared his throat, calming himself down as he shook Percy’s hand. “James. James Attree.”

“So your surname’s spelled like…’a tree’?” Percy laughed.

James didn’t find it as amusing, but he gave a small smile nonetheless. Percy stared at James. “What’re you looking at?” James shifted uncomfortably.

“You’ve the saddest eyes I’ve ever seen.”

James was taken aback; he didn’t think he had given anything away in his neutral expression. “I’m perfectly fine, excuse me.”

“Are you hiding something?” Percy didn’t like prying too much, but there was a certain air about this man. “There’s something bothering you.”

“Yes, and it’s you. Now, let me do my job.” James angrily shoved past Percy towards the sheds, grumbling to himself. “First day on the job and he’s already psychoanalysing us…”

Monochrome Evaluation

What was the project theme and what did you think of it?

- The project theme was monochrome. This meant working with an analogue camera, the processing and developing the negatives and creating final prints.

What part of the project did you enjoy the most/found most interesting (making the photographs? Optimising images? printing?)

- The most enjoyable part of the analogue photography was taking the photographs. I enjoyed taking the photographs the most because I felt like I appreciated what I was photographing more, as you are not able to see the image once you have taken it like a Digital SLR.

What new techniques have you experienced?

- I have experienced how to create contact sheets and final prints. I have learned how to get the correct exposure and grade for a specific photograph. I cut test strips and used them to test different exposure times., this helped me get the correct exposure for each final image.

What technique would you like to develop further?

-   I would like to develop on dodging and burning as I did not have much of a change to do it. I would also like to further develop sandwich printing, by putting two negatives together, one up right and the other up-side down.

Which photographers did you research throughout this project?

- I researched Henri-Cartier Bresson, Ansel Adams, Clyde butcher and James Attree. Each of these photographers are different. Henri-Cartier Bresson is a portrait photographer. Ansel Adams is a landscape photographer, Clyde butcher is also a landscape photographer. The last photographer was James Attree, who is an architectural photographer.

How have they influenced your photographs?

- Each photographer i researched used natural light. This created contrast in the images. With the landscape photographer their compositions also influenced me, this helped me take into consideration the rule of thirds. 

Which technique did you enjoy the most?

- I enjoyed changing the grade the most, in one of my final prints it was exposed for 16 seconds at grade 2, which made it very grey. I then increased the grade and lowered the seconds to 14. Once i done that the writing within the image went very black but the rest of the image was whiter.

What do you feel is the most successful part of your project and why?

- I believe the most successful part of my project was processing of the film, as i got clear images each time i processed my negatives.

Did you encounter any problems in your project? 

- The problems i encountered were in the darkroom. Each time i made a final print there was several dust marks and some were not able to come off. This made me realize i need to keep care of my negatives and use a blower brush each time i put a negative into the carrier.

How did you learn from them and how did they affect your final images?

- I learned that you need to check your negatives for dust before proceeding to do a final print, as it will show on them. i had to re-do my final prints as they were not to the standard i wanted.

What would you do differently given the chance to complete the project again?

- When processing the rolls of film i would put two in the tank at a time, as this saves more time.  I would also get all of the processing done first then move to the darkroom so I'm not going back and forth.

Discuss any technical issues with your final images? (Focus, sharpness, exposure, highlight/shadow detail)

- With one of my finals images, there was a very good contrast between the subject and the background but the image was not sharp, this meant i could not get a final print out of that roll. When i tried a final print, you can see the image is too soft.

BREAKING AND ENTERING (2006)

It’s not Anthony Minghella’s best film, but it may be of interest to some for its architecture/urban design theme, North London locations, and a strong cast including Robin Wright, Juliette Binoche and Jude Law. The latter plays a Kings Cross-based Landscape Architect immersed in a local regeneration project, and the film explores themes relating to gentrification and multi-cultralism.

wednesday 3rd october 2018

dissertation talks:

 re-enrole on moodle (key-reflect)

module guide contextual studies year 3 

illustrated dissertation-just show photographers work

 *form RE1- HE student portal area-fill in form before starting dissertation and give back to tutor to sign

 put figure 1 ( eg Fig.1) not put image above not professional

look at higher education student handbook

proposal hand in moodle 500 words worth 10%

hand in proposal - 31/10/18 - marked

hand in draft- 09/01/19 -try and do 2/3  - not marked 

hand in dissertation - 27/02/19 - marked worth 90% 6,000 words look at module guide before hand in

use Chicago system

will hear of mark and feedback a month after hand in

   think in chapters:

 intro- 10% word count     - what ,how,why,who,when

 chapter 1 - 26% word count

 chapter 2 - 26% word count

 chapter 3 - 26% word count

 conclusion - 10% word count    - bring together all chapters, reiterate the key points and arguments.

 your dissertation needs to demonstrate:

 evidence of clear analysis and an ability to think critically. you need to interpret art and design. you not merely describe it. make us see the topic differently.

effective use of quotations, referencing, bibliography, etc, that supports your argument

a good use of english

evidence that your topic has been thoroughly researched

clarity of the overall argument- will we understand whats it all about? is there a point to it all? why should we care?

a coherent structure. build up your argument

 how to write paragraphs and avoid a ‘stream of consciousness’…

 each paragraph must have a central idea or theme

every sentence in the paragraph must relate to the central idea or theme

every sentence in the paragraph should be a mini conclusion, that round it off

the last sentence of one paragraph should connect with the first sentence of the next

 italics and titles

 italics are used for the title of all books, journals, plays, longer poems, pamphlets and any other entire published works

generally, quotations should not be written in italics. instead be in quotation marks. copy quote exactly with emphasis and english used

longer quotations can be presented in a separate paragraphs that are indented more deeply from your own paragraphs.

long quotations margins to 1.27cm left and right with no quotation marks

 my tutors suggestions:

 look into:

 Maggie Ivyson

network _ Malcom Costells

James Bidle- technology

monday 1st october 2018

a description as to what i think my dissertation is going to be about:

 its going to be about analogue vs digital exploring the positives an negative on both sides and also how colour or the lack of effects how people see it. along with how modern day item (instagram etc) effect the meaning of the images or reduces them for analogue and digital.

 but may change or divert another way.

 sunday 30th september 2018

starting looking into my pecha kucha presentation i started looking at people who inspire me to include in my presentation i used @nikelasporter and @_vikiking as i liked there work found them from my research for my dissertation and found James Attree as i looked to see any photographers that use analogue and their subject is architecture.
