For a long time now, i've really been wanting to do some fund raising for some wildlife charities, in particuar the WSPA and the WWF. Another thing i've been wanting to do is organise a photography exhibiton with the idea that it will help raise money and awareness for a specific charity or cause. this has yet to be decided upon.
Choosing to support an animal charity rather than a human charity is something that has deffinatly given me a headache as I feel as though I am restling with a moral dilema. However, although most people would proberly choose childrens charities or homeless peoples charities, I just feel so annoyed at people in general that I think is disgusting how we treat our plannet. We as a race have destroyed it and as a result the environment and the animals that live in it are suffering.
I have always loved animals since I can remember, and when I was small I remember saying that I either wanted to work as a vet or for the WWF (lol). I've spent my whole life rescuing animals, like my cat, smudge and the ridiculous amounts of birds he catches, the hedgehogs on my front lawn etc etc. I just feel like its my calling in life, and to be honest i've always thought that. Now is a great oppertunity to actually do something. I can host an exhib at uni, hopefully with the help of other students and raise as much money as pos.
Another thing I saw that would be like my biggest dream ever is this:

basicly its a horse trek for 11 days through mongolio. camping it out as you go. I have wanted do this since i can remember, and now its an opportunity that I can't turn down.
the aim is to raise a minimum of £3600
"We ride sturdy Mongolian horses for 200km through the remote valleys of the Khangai mountains of central Mongolia, witnessing the traditional herding lifestyle of the Khalkh Mongols. We follow tracks through valleys and mountains, crossing rivers and passing round felt gers before finishing our journey at Kharkhorin, the historic centre of Genghis Khan’s Mongol Empire. This is a rare opportunity to experience the beautiful, untouristed landscapes of the ‘land of blue sky"

So i'm currently in the process of resizing all the images before they get sent to print etc. My pc is the most annoying thing in the world though because it takes like 10 days just to make one change in photoshop :/
Whilst putting together the selection of images chosen by the group I have come to realise that in a way im in a predicament. Mainly because of difference of opinion, although i am perfectly happy with the choice of images for the project I feel that the images don't always flow or fit together properly like they should. This is because the images were taken by two different people, so I find that for in the future i'm going to note to self that I prefer to work alone. I feel that this defect in the ability of the images to gel together is what will cost us in marks, I want to get the best possible marks I can but sometimes this can be hard when you work in a group because ofcourse it is very difficult to remain objective when it is your own work under screwtiny from the whole group. this isn't a complaint as such, I just felt it necessery to mention within my blog because i didn't have enough room to say so in my essay.

I personally don't like this image, i think it is better without the little man photoshopped in. The teacher was right, it would be hard to make it look right because of the difference in light on each subject. this image isn't going to be used as one of the final ones, however i think that it was good to try it, i think if i were to have another attempt at this i would know exactly how i would go about it. its a shame really because i actually like the original image but its a little pointless without the small man...Friday 16 April 2010
so here are some images, i've edited some differently to show the group next week so they can choose which they prefer best.
I kind of feel like the studio images and the on location images don't fit together. But I guess we'll see what the others think... plus i haven't seen any of emma's images yet!

different model
Unfortunatly the model we had chosen (shown below) was unable to shoot with us in the end, as she became a little unrelyable so we decided best to choose someone more suitable.
this is the model we have decided to go with now:
i think her look is a little more quirky than our original choice so this could work extremly well in our favour. However what i prefered about the first model was the way she looked naturally taller and more typically 'model like' in her images.
we have rescheduled the shoot for next week so hopefully third time lucky things will happen!
