This week has been full of ups and downs for me. I went home for the first time in 6 months last week, as my final degree show was up in Bristol. It was such a rewarding experience putting together something with my course mates that we all worked so hard on. It was the final time we'll ever be all together in that kind of setting, which after three intense years is a pretty surreal thought.
Coming back to Falmouth was lovely as always, I could never get sick of this special little town. However, the time I spent at home has assured me that a summer is enough here, and that I'm ready to move home to begin the next chapter of my life. As much as I love my life here, Falmouth/Cornwall can only offer me so much, so it's time for me to be brave and get out into the real world. Whether that's straight into work or travelling first I'm undecided yet, but I reckon I'll give myself the summer to figure that one out...
Exciting news update - I have sold two out of three copies of my book, one to my course mate and the other to my university! They chose it as one of a handful of graduate students' work to keep in the photography departments permanent collection. I was so shocked but so honoured, definitely the reassurance I needed. I'm strongly considering printing more and selling them, I'm just not sure how to go about it. A brainstorm is needed! Until then, if you're interested you can access the whole book for free online, just follow the link in the 'guide book' chapter of my website. Thank you to everyone who has supported me throughout my time at university, I can confidently say I wouldn't have done it without you. Let's see what's next!
