Why? Because I am an college student. Not because I have been partying, not because I have too much homework...no it because as a Uni student you always need sleep. So here is my disclaimer...there are going to be spelling errors, get over it.
This week has been a little less travel. mostly because of homework. I have three projects due in the next two weeks. Animation, Web Design and Experimental Image Making. The last being the one I want to work on the most. It is a book designed around the body. When it is done I will post images. Some of the images i am going to put up in this update relate to the book. the ones of my models Amy and Paul mostly.
Speaking of images...if you want to see any of the back images from previous pots you can just go on My Flickr and click the link for SETS and you can see them, they are in groups by the date taken.
This week though I have been to Durham Cathedral, the Newcastle Castle Keep, and just more wandering around the area. I am not going to go into great detail about this week as I have mentioned I am sleepy. Plus I have to be up at 6:30am on Saturday to catch a coach to Bamburgh Castle and Holy Island.
I think I need to start expanding my wanderings to like jesmond and Sunderland...but the bus prices and the metro are a bit...and the metro doesn't go to Sunderland...of course not. But, I did go West out near where there is an abandoned ship building site. That area was a bit creppy, there were some shanty houses like what I would expect to find in a ghetto...I might get a group and go back, cause they were cool.
So lets see here... Durnham. That was cool. The Cathedral is amazing! It is HUGE! But of course you can't take photos. Really? ugh. Well in some places you can...like the cloisers/courtyard and on the tower. Oh yes, you can climb to the tower. All 250 odd stairs. 250 stairs on a Spiral Stair Case. A narrow one even. But the view was worth it. also with in the cathedral out in the couryard a guide reminded me that some of Harry Potter was filmed here. “How cool!” you say.
yeah...sure.
But at one point there was a orchestra rehersing for a concert that evening and got to listen along with whoever else was in the church at the time. I totally took a picture of that, rules be nulled. The acustics were really beautiful.
Newcastle Castle is small on the outside but HUGE on the inside. I swear it's a TARDIS (look it up.) The whole interior is like a maze at first you have to thing about where you are it was SOOO COOL! But it was funny because the King's chambers are smaller then when I live in Columbus...haha.
Other then that it has been homework...photoshots, litho printing, and drawings. Tomorrow shouls be interesting as should Sunday.
