Tuesday/ wednesday final post

Today (wednesday) I decided to finish my blogging so I can concentrate on my workbook and gettin my images sorted. Currently I am having alot of issues with my work as I had it printed earlier and to be quite blunt it looks pants!! So its being printed A4 and will hopefully look better. Anyways I wanted to finish this blog off by leaving you with nothing more than a simple picture of my horse. This sounds a bit strange but the bond we have is very strong and without her I would not have as much appreciation for the outside world as I do. Over the last few weeks Barthes has been talking about trying to find his mother in a photograph, but in this image although it is simple it is often images like these that are most representative of my horse, just an everyday casual shot like this one contains the familularity and closeness I have with the subject. So I leave you with this, it may not look much to you but like I said she means the world to me.

This is Tuesday's Post. I was just playing around with my camera trying to get my horse in the picture as well as things in her life.

Monday's Blog

For these images I got on my horse with my camera, slightly strange I know as I havent got insurance on it but again hopefully this shows the trust I have in these animals and basically all I am trying to do to show my perspective when riding. In these images I have concentrated on showing my own horse as she is the main part of 'my world'.

Thursday...What a day!

Today was our tutorial and so I decided now would be the appropriate time to narrow down my theme as it still seems to be a little random. I still want to stick with "The Outside World" but I want to make it more specific basing it where I keep my horse because it is a major part of my life and is my main reason for loving being outside. I want to focus on the actual yard, the day to day stuff I find normal yet others may not, maybe the things I take for granted like a gallop in the fields. So here is my image for the day of my horse eating a carrot out of a puddle!! I decided to choose this image as I don't want straight forward documentary images I want to work with composition and angle to create a more interesting image, without trying to be "arty farty" - direct quote from Hugh. Hopefully my project will take some direction from now on!!!!
