I've done nothing I get graded on since 2011. It's been a decade and half of grind with no dreams allowed. So I admit I had a small cry that this is what I had waiting for me on my first assignment for my garden designing course.

I'm weird about sharing my photography. I will go out of my way to avoid ever having to show anyone apart from here. Just been invited to join a work chat of people sharing pics and I just cannot face showing regular folks my stuff. I don't know why. I don't even show it to what family I have left.

Ffordes can always be relied on. I went with an intrepid because the black is really *really* light and this was a decent price. Winging its way from the Highlands as we speak.

This is both great and ultra specific in when it could be from. Nothing like this had ever happened shortly before and would soon never again.

Garden design assignment done. Last thing was to think up a logo. For which I used a Polaroid! When researching logid was depressing how msny designers were 'double barrelled Henrietas'. I've got no chance!

Dark Stars - I did this half accidentally on my phone a few years ago when I was also into paper negs at night and decided it looked cool.

New tack for hiking camera for Japan. Possibly a graflex century graphic. It would allow me to easily use paper negs as well as rollfilm and they seem quite light.

When you expose an "AGFA ISOPAN F" with a Zeiss NETTAR from the 1930s, a camera the film was sitting in for more than 80 years.

Put my garden design materials together. I don't think it's terrible but I hate that feeling when things just feel half arsed. I can never really tell when I have done a shoddy job or not. Although usually I have.

There's nothing quite as hubristic as listening to dimwit bros discussing what is happening with various 'markets'.

Quite why work think it's acceptable to leave me £700 out of pocket for 2 weeks when I did my expenses pretty much immediately (and approved in a couple of days) is beyond me. They *know* I'm not rich.

A quick train sketch of some Lavendar in a pit for my garden design course. I enjoy making pen and colored pencil sketches and I really hope they aren't too half arsed for the examiners.

Before I started my garden design course I would have told you I couldn't draw for toffee. Not saying I am exactly Giotto now but I am pleased with how I have progressed on assignment 1.

I sent an email to our HR today about the impact the chat/ spaces culture has on me in terms of concentration and overwhelm. Recently, important info has started to creep into messenger/ spaces format and all of this on top of the avalanche of gifs and inconsequential crap is just dreadful.

I know most of us hate scanning. Well I am currently scanning every single page of partners passport for our darling home office. Despite having travelled a lot there is still a lot of empty pages on their passport.

Question for the graflex inclined. If you own a speed graphic have you hiked with it? My current 4x5 is an MPP technical and it's too much for a long hikes.
