so I didn't really have many ideas for time. so I instead did a little experiment with my friend George. we wanted to try and get a still image of his hair flipping back, so to do this we used a slow-mo capture first. then we paused it and Room a screenshot. it counts as time manipulation as we are slowing it down significantly. I think it looks really cool. I would have liked to take the video in a different environment, which was the plan, but unfortunately time did not work with us. https://www.facebook.com/100007269888902/videos/1818701328382179/ - the video

I am really worried about this project. the other day I spoke to anne and james and I said I would do a photo which is of a shadowed girl playing with a hoop. I had some strong ideas for it at the time. now however I have lost faith in it. I want to choose another photo and I am currently leaning towards the piece which is a house that was built as a sculpture. I look at its odd shape and hear it in my head, heavy stone doors, echo's, stones on the floor, blunt foot steps... I think it would be amazing and spooky to do.

I spoke about my idea to do something based around gender identity as it is something I feel extremely passionate about. I would love to take some photos that go against gender sterotypes as well as going against societies view on it. I find it extremely upsetting that it is still a taboo topic in todays society. I want to do a mash up of a social media post which says 'You don't look like a boy...' over a photo of a female dressed as a man, to show that really it doesn't matter what you look like, deep down you know who you are and that's what counts. another idea I have is pretty cool, its a bit weird and I want to discuss it. I have friends all over the world. I admin pages on social media part time along side everything els...
