Well the journey is done and here is how we did it, lovely round trips to Wales and Staffordshire and Wolverhampton and Birmingham, over 500 miles have gone into this work, but for me going to the beach on the last day was fantastic, I started the HNC on the beach and I ended the HND there as well, a full round trip, I am very pleased with the images and am looking forward to seeing them all together at the Gallery, I hope everyone else enjoys them too.

The final few photos .

Well, the last few shots have been done, the journey to Rhyl was lovely, the weather was mixed but that really didn't matter, the idea of my work going full circle, from the Musselflies to the cocoon maybe the musselflies come from the cocoon.

The beach is the most wondrous place, I love the smell, the textures and the sounds, to sit and watch the waves as the crash, learn the rhythm and feel the salt against my skin. leaving the beach is always the most difficult, it whispers to you to come back as you walk away.

Cocoon hits the town

Cocoon first spotted in Birmingham with the Ironman, and then its lying around with the Birmingham Bull.

The town was incredibly busy for week day, and a food market was on around the fountain area by the gallery making it harder to move around without being jostled by  people eating bizarre burgers. The  people at the Bull were all having there photo taken or taking photos and no one looked at the cocoon,  it was invisible to them.

Cocoon route

Not the greatest of pictures but you can get a rough idea of the journey the cocoon has been on, aprox 500 miles, through amazing countyside of Wales and Staffordshire where I grew up, Rhyl is its final place for taking photos as this was my first destination on the HNC, my travels have taken me in a circle. Whatever the weather Im sure it will be a fine day for fish and chips by the sea.

The HNC/D has been an amazing course for me and it is coming to an end what a way to finish.

The Power of Pointing !

Tutbury Castle

Digbeth is scary.

Digbeth in Birmingham, somewhere I feel very uncomfortable, its a very built up area

 industrial and full of warehouses, its like a warren, I would be lost very quickly if left alone there.

we have walked around going to art galleries its very unnearving
