I really enjoyed having the lecture from Jade Birchnall.
Not only because she is of my age, did the same National Diploma course as me at the same college, but because her projects were very thought provoking and inspiring.
Although I don't share the same passion or urge to photograph strippers as she seemed to posses, I understood the reasons why she wanted to do that, although I loved her work of nuns, priests and old people.

To be honest the main reason I liked her work, wasn't because of the actual content of the work, the only images I genuinely really appreciated was the still life images she took at the nursing home when the patients weren't around. The reason I liked her work was because it inspired me to get back into using film because I'd stepped back from this a while ago and stuck to digital, mainly because of the price of photo paper or getting colour processed.
Over the past week I have now used 120 film and a medium format camera to do the response to John Myers boring landscapes, but killed two birds with one stone and took it to Branston Water Park with me and used it to tie in with my Nationel Forest/Photo-Canopy work. Also at Branston I took a 35mm camera which I bought from a charity shop for £3 and have really enjoyed using film again.
