i've passed by this street a few times going to central london. i think it's piccadilly, or some other known street in the area. these paintings go on for the length of almost a whole park, propped up on the iron railings surrounding it.
there must be at least a hundred of them, and i'm bad at estimation. when i have enough money, i'm going to buy a painting from there. there are some beautiful abstract ones.
i'm not sure if i'd like to sell my art on the streets in the future. in the past it was a wistful, romantic thought, being a nomad artist. but my experiences with street artists (including musicians) of late, mainly today as well, have shaken the nerve that dared to dream that. why is it that they always demand something of me? Don't take photos, Give me money. it's like saying Don't look, Don't appreciate, This is my world not yours.
i'm sorry, i thought art was a movement, not property.
and there i was thinking that this month would go a little slower.
each day didn't feel slow at all, although now as i compile the photos for this album and see the photo from march 1, it feels So Long Ago. like century ago. ages.
march was doubly packed because of The Saturday School, a programme conducted by the Wimbledon College of Art for prospective university students. with my experience there i think it's safe to say that i'm doing at least my foundation course in art with WCA. the AS Level art exam started this month too, which proved to be a struggle in the beginning. i think i'm on better ground now though, after 5 weeks of preparation. i'm really behind in prep work but the easter break should help me with that.
and last but not least: the return to film. i've been getting fragments of memory of what it was like to shoot with film. and last night, i brought back to life my dad's EOS 88. the first camera i ever used as a kid. i pressed the shutter release once, and watched as the curtain shut and opened again, like eyelids in movies. my jaw dropped. hahaha.
my photos are becoming more ordinary, i think.
