I don’t seem to have done a reflection at all this month. I have been struggling to work or concentrate still.

Reading and watching:

• Finished reading Michael Freeman – The Photographer’s Eye –a useful reminder of what I covered when I initially did TAOP several years ago
• Memories – AS Byatt – lots of essays on memory – useful general reading especially in context of IAP
• Watched the Susan Bright lecture and the following zoom – very interesting – separate post on that
• Aaron Schumann –Slant – again a post done
• Watched Anna Fox zoom and wrote up
• Read Batchen Forget Me Not very relevant for the work I am doing for A4
• Read Paul Strand New England and posted
• Watched a talk by Margaret Mitchell done by Street Level – wrote up and posted

Thinking and doing:

• Attended study visit for London’s Hottest postcode – written up
• Finished MoMA Coursera on Modern Art – very useful as background knowledge, mainly painting based but did discuss some photography such as Migrant Mother , gave me some useful ideas about emu of text
• Redid A3 following tutor report
• Transcribed tapes by my mother for my work on Exercise 4.5
• Zoom meeting with IAP group. These are very useful . Posted full report to IAP Padlet

Photography:

• Made up video of Mother’s word and images for Exercise 4.5
• Printed images and made up album as above
• Sorted out images for use in A4
  • Printed out
  • Randomised words
  • Made a series of images of ‘still life ‘setups – this took ages as had to keep redoing, steep learning curve here.
