I had to submit two 8"x10" prints of my photos with my application to study. The ones I chose appear here (low-quality versions, and the prints did not have the watermark, of course).
Both photos were taken in South Africa - the one on the left outside Johannesburg, and the one on the right in Pretoria. I am hoping they are decent enough to convince the staff that I at least have some raw talent and that I can benefit from the programme.
After spending about 20 years in journalism in South Africa and New Zealand, I decided recently to change careers to follow my dream of being a professional photographer.
I applied to study fulltime at UCOL here in New Zealand, towards the two-year Diploma in Photographic Imaging, and am at present waiting to hear whether my application has been successful.
The aim of this blog is to provide a chronicle, recording the progress of my studies, the evolution of my photography, and, God willing, the development of my new career.
I hope you enjoy the ride!
