Hi Anna,
I enjoyed it very much and felt inspired to do something akin to this myself. You sent me the camera in half term and so in a way my life was slightly unusual that week. Probably the ones that didn’t come out were the most representative-they were of my bed. I realise how much time I spend in bed as most of the pictures were of that. I draw and eat and email and watch BBC player in my bed-I suppose particularly in winter, as it’s so cold in the studio.
I went to London with my friend Vincent in his van and I find it very exciting going around London in a car seeing the landmarks so close. Vincent was very embarrassed because he likes to think of himself as a Londoner and I was being a tourist-taking photo’s. The man in the photo is my friend Ed-my boyfriend I don’t think came out. The only thing that was difficult for me taking photos of my life was that it was a limited amount especially as I have got used to digital cameras. I wanted to take absolutely everything-but this is how I feel about my art too I suppose and the reason I did the one a day project to try and process all of the information of life. This too used to be my reason for living in the countryside. One or two are taken in a ‘staff development day’ meeting and I gave the camera to a tutor who teaches photography to see what he would take I didn’t know until looking at your pictures.
