It was really nice to see a number of Hightown residents come down to tonight’s show preview at Oriel Gallery. Some seemed a little bemused to see their likeness on the wall, while I had to disappoint others whose photos didn’t make it into the final edit. All were represented in some way though, through an additional slideshow and in my little book. This project has been a great experience on many levels – being forced to work quickly on a well defined body of work was a useful exercise and the fact that people were generally happy to talk and have their photos taken has been a timely confidence boost, especially after some of my projects this year, particularly this one, have been difficult to pull off. I’m now looking forward though to moving on and dedicating myself full time to my final MA project.
