This evening I have spent quite a long time cutting things up and gluing them into a book. I've spent many hours doing this in the last two weeks. My photography course is marked on two sketchbooks, the first of which I am working on until the end of January. Into the sketchbook goes what I have learned, proof of each stage of photograph production, the actual photographs, analyses of the photographs and links from my own work to other photographers and/or artists.

My progress is hampered by the fact that I must be neat and tidy and I'm not naturally either neat or tidy. I'm precise, but that's something else. I thought I was getting bored of it for a while, but then I put some repetitive music on and everything seemed better. This is the music I used, from DE9:Transitions by Richie Hawtin (the accompanying images come from the end of the rather brilliant film Stalker):

I have much more cutting and gluing to do between now and June, and I shall be using music to help me cope with it.

Cheers, Tom.
