Updates

Well it's been awhile since I've posted any news so I thought it would be good to give some updates.
The big thing that's been dominating my time lately has been getting ready to move. I'll be moving a week from today so I'm trying to tie up the loose ends. I've done most of the shopping for the apartment so that's good but I still have a lot of packing left to do.
I've registered for another photo course in the winter. It will be advanced photo this time. I found that doing the intro black and white this term was fun but I don't think I'd want to do it again. I'm feeling like I've reached a point where I've pretty much gotten what I can out of the continuing education courses and it's time for me to work on something more advanced.
The big plan is to apply to join Viewpoint Gallery and to try to get some exhibition quality prints ready. I have a lot of material from SE Asia that I like and it really feels like a much more cohesive body of work than a lot of my past shooting so I think it could be useable for this. I've also been finally starting to see a definite style emerging in my work, even in the few things I've shot since I got back so I think it's a good time to start talking about my photography and explore the opportunities for showing it. It's also a great way to start pushing myself further.
The downside is that it means I'll probably be spending most of the class time working on past work rather than shooting new stuff. But it is winter so that tends to be a downtime for my shooting anyways. That will be my next challenge though, to start getting out and shooting on a more consistent basis.
