Having appealed for help with regard to a subject for assignment 5, emails have been flying thick and fast between my tutor and me as to how to proceed. CliveW seems to have the bit between his teeth as to subject when I commented on my preferred genre. Next thing I know is that CliveW suggested I take portraits of local people in their own environments. Then he developed it further, see below an extract from his last email:
"I think your project is going to be an excellent summation of the course for you and when I woke up this morning, thinking about it, I was reminded of a book a friend of mine did. In it he asked the people to write their own manifestos and it occurred to me that you could ask your people to write something. Perhaps a paragraph about Lyme; how they came to be there or how they feel about living there. I think that’s something you could expand into an interesting book project, a picture per page with a small block of subject authored text underneath."
Talk about firing me with enthusiasm, I can't wait to get started now and have already fired off 2 emails to 'friends' to get started. I only hope I can live up to Clive's expectations!
