For my dissertation topic, I am reading seven books on environmental movements throughout history. The material is making me feel like the most irresponsible human being due to my lack of action. There are so many incredible people out there struggling to change the current state of the planet - I wish I was one of them.
I am trying to figure out what I can do to help. I have the intentions, but inevitably fail out of sheer laziness. I tried growing my own vegetables (they died after I stopped watering them and my evil neighbours and their cat used my planters as an ashtray/litterbox), and I'm a dietary vegan, but this just doesn't feel like enough.
As a graphic design student, I feel like I have the power to make a difference in my practice somehow. I don't believe using recycled materials is sufficient - they are simply a band-aid for a much larger problem. I wonder if I could challenge myself to endure a 365-day green warrior program with small tasks to decrease my share of environmental abuse.
Perhaps I can start by compiling a list.

Picnic + Mystery Negatives
I have been in film heaven lately, thus I have more awful negative scans to share. I can't wait until I get my hands on a good scanner! I have no idea where the first three came from, but the rest were taken during a picnic in Greenwich Park.

First 6x7 images!
These are a bit backwards, I picked up the scanned negs from the first roll taken with my 6x7. Check em out.
Pop into Scotland
I have been a busy gaffer. Last week I ventured up to Scotland with my buddy Hussain with my 6x7 strapped to my back plus two other cameras. I have no access to a negative scanner with uni being closed so I've done a quick scan to preview what my colour negs might look like!
