What was the last image/object/artefact that excited you? How, why & where did you encounter it?
St. Nic Horizon 202 photograph by Markus Hartel, found whilst reasearching the world of blogging.
A gritty, black and white timeless collection of street photographs.
He says "kids, take a seat and let me take the photographs".

What excites you about your chosen area of Creative Practice? Why have you chosen to study it further?
I like being able to capture something that won't be here forever, I like feeling like i'm the only one who saw it at that moment.
When you photgraph somebody in colour you photograph their clothes. When you photograph people in black and white, you photograph their soul.

What do you hope to achieve at the end of these 2 years? What would you like to be doing?
 I'd like to grow as a photographer, have the opportunity to photograph the extraordinary and possibly move into the world of photojournalism. 

What sorts of things have you written about and/or researched specifically before? E.g are you particularly interested in a specific area, issue, theme, genre, subculture, type of design etc? 
Documentary photography, street art, the decline in tradition and the effect of mass production.  

What excites you now? What sorts of arts, design, performance, media, spectacles etc do you go & see/take part in? What do you read? What feeds your interests? 
I like Bruce Davidson's style, the Brooklyn Gangs and the wonders of street life.
Street renegades, the new underground art. Artists frustated by wholesale corporate theft or street creativity and using different materials and techniques to get their work noticed.
