ALLEVIATING THE BOREDOM

Originally published February 19, 2009
What an absolute and utter pain it’s been, stuck at home for the past three days feeling rather unwell. On top of that there’s the total frustration of knowing I’m missing good photos out there because there’s so much going on, and also realising that it’s going to be pretty hard to meet my college assignment deadline now. I’ve been trying to alleviate the boredom by reading up on other photographers and by taking pictures round the house – turning the camera on food crumbs left on the dinner table, the goldfish, who must be far more bored by now than I ever could be. The Peter Fraser influence is still there, and I don’t see it waning away too quickly. I guess the goldfish pix are more ‘me’ in a way, there’s a sense of dance in them, which is right up my alley. There isn’t any Photoshop manipulation in the images, apart from adjusting of levels, as well as boosting the contrast and saturation slightly in the RAW conversion software.
