about:me

I'm a 18 year old student living in York and London, who blogs, breathes, and studies English and Related Literatures at the University of York. I do some other things too, such as work backstage on plays, and I design some things, including posters & magazines. Seeking work experience in journalism/design.

I've been blogging since Summer 2009, and you can view my blog at blog.direthoughts.com. It's where I share my probably deluded thoughts about a variety of things, or express what creative talent I have. Sometimes I have a good rant about life, though.

Things What Done

I've done a lot of things, and a lot of procrastination too, I guess, but this is a neatly categorised list of things. I have a list of references here.

Journalism

  1. Work Experience at the Cornish Guardian, West Briton and Cornishman - August 2013. Several articles written and published, possibly available on request.
  2. Work Experience once more at the Cornish Guardian in January 2014
In addition, many posters for random events @ SPS, using PS & Gimp.

Theatre Technical @ SPS

I've been lucky enough to be part of the Theatre Technical team at my school, and I've mostly done sound, using QLab. QLab is able to do both sound & projection, so that's fairly useful. I tend to edit sound and build soundscapes using Audacity, and draw sounds from freesound.org as well as archive.org and Youtube.

Photography

I got a Canon EOS 600D in February 2012, after a fair bit of saving up, and donations from Roo Reynolds and Nic Weninger.In return, I am going to be publishing 52 CC photos under a license of my choosing - theoretically one per week, but I have limitations with my time sadly. I have the 18-55mm EF-S f/3.5-5.6 kit lens, and the 'nifty fifty' - 50mm EF f/1.8, and I'm looking forward to doing lots of other things with it - I take it most of the time with me if I'm meeting up with friends.

You can view my photos on my Flickr as well as on the special tumblr.

Photographed a wedding in Winter 2012.
