Photography module - filling the frame/details

I always thought I liked photography, but it appears now I'm learning how to do it, I'm having difficulties.

1. I get claustrophobic in the dark room
2. I get annoyed with people not leaving things tidy, particularly the tongs in the developing fluids
3. I can't stand people talking to me in the dark
4. I can't do it....
5. ... and other people can

Photography to me is a means to an end. However, I've been happy with some shots I've taken. we did research on 'filling the frame' and our project title is details. For me this has been using the macro setting and taking pictures of interesting textures.

That will do for photography I think. Back to making cakes out of plaster, foam and wood...

Card Parties in Yorkshire area

I am now booking card parties for 2010.

Usual times are

Monday evenings
Tuesday mornings
Thursday evenings
Friday afternoons
Saturdays
Sundays

I will come to your playgroup, church group as well as to your own home. Anyone who hosts a party gets a free bottle of wine as a thank you, as well as some free cards.

No minimum amount of guests required, and no hard sell! I don't give a big speech or anything, just bring my cards to you, and allow you to choose at your own leisure.

My handmade cards are unique, whimsical, and one of a kind, and priced from only 50p.

I can also bring supplies and do demonstrations on card making. I particularly enjoy working with children, and will happily come to children's parties and events.

Simply call 07843 735306 or email chloemcgenn@gmail.com

NB I have a current CRB check from 2 volunteering positions, both with Leeds City Council.
