Sometimes, it’s the small victories that count…

“O for a Muse of fire, that would ascend
The brightest heaven of invention…”

So, I’m in like, what it is now? Week 130 of my final major project? (it hasn’t been 130 weeks – it just feels like that) and I can report a small victory of sorts. After many test shots and endless editing attempts, I think I am finally getting close to something resembling what I want to present at the end of this marathon.

I can vaguely remember saying at the start of this project that I wanted to make a picture in the style of Crewdson. Of course, it can never be on his level but as I said in my last blog post, I don’t have his budget. But nevertheless, given what I had to hand, last night, I went out and shot a few pictures and after rinsing them under the cool waters of various editing packages, I think I’m finally getting somewhere. So here it is –

Now let me be clear that this is a TEST SHOT….ok? It is nowhere near being the end result. For a start, the final picture will have a woman in it !

But as the title of this blog suggests, I see this as a small victory. A small victory in the ongoing battle that is this final major project. But I shall succeed.

“Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our English dead.”
