This was another piece from my Human Condition GCSE exam project. Through this image, I wanted to reflect the idea of reminiscing memories by photographing a thoughtful looking eye. I figured that memories are an essential part of being human and so wanted to execute this through my work.

So here starts another project. I am setting myself no rules, except the condition that I must see this project to it's close. I'm not setting a theme, and not even the rule that each photo has to be a self portrait (although I can guarantee you that most will be portraits of some kind.)
It's been seven months since my 365 ended, and I've missed the endless ideas zooming round my mind during lessons instead of concentrating on the vaguely important information I was being taught.
I miss having something to aim to. I miss being as much in love with photography as I was when I had a continuous goal. It's not that I've fallen out of love with photography, merely that I've been too busy discovering it in different ways: fully experiencing film and all the problems that come with the success of a single photo on 35mm; tackling an 100 strangers project in order to pass my photography GCSE; and just having a break. This break though has worried me. I need to throw myself back into photography and fill myself with ideas and goals and plans for the future. Photography, for a long time now, has been all I want to do, and although there isn't much of a market for the sort of photos I take, I hope to find various jobs within the industry once I've finished studying. This break troubled me because I didn't have ideas or concepts or pictures in my mind, and while all my friends are aiming for stable jobs to achieve for the rest of their life, if I can't do anything with photography, I'll have nothing.
I think I forgot to say - I got a wireless remote shutter release for Neville, my camera, for Christmas. This photo is the first time I've really tried it out, and it's so much easier to get it to look how I want!
So here's to 2013. I'm 16 now. I hope it's a good year for all of you, and for everyone starting a project like this: good luck to you.
