I’m sitting here in the bitter cold & pouring rain, hoping that the weather will have improved by the time I have to start travelling to the Medical School at the end of the month. I have not been into the studio for days – too cold – and my research into the local healing wells has staggered to a halt. I am getting a bit fed up with working in the living room and grinding charcoal underfoot into the floor.
I have just signed up to Wellcome Images: http://images.wellcome.ac.uk , which is a treasury of the beautiful and the bizarre. Having retained some of the attributes of my previous existence in the NHS, I am allowed to view the clinical images. The conditions attached to this privilege are strict (I previously typed “fiercesome” by mistake, which is quite accurate as well). I am now fretting that I will not be able to distinguish “clinical” from “ordinary” images, and will inadvertently breach the Terms & Conditions.
