If you know me well, you may remember where I studied Photography\u2026 well it turns out I was hired by FutureRising<\/a> to give an inspiring talk to 2nd Year Photography Students at BCU. As it happens that’s the new name for where I studied, UCE.<\/p>\n

So there I was 9:45am, gasping for coffee after dealing with crazy Tuesday morning traffic near Birmingham’s very cool Millennium Point, meeting the top guys from Future Rising<\/a> and Owen de Visser<\/a>, who was also to give a talk. Another photographer came shortly afterwards and we were away!<\/p>\n

The event was very fun, and really something I believe is vital for students at this level. Not only had the facilities improved markedly in the last twenty years but the attention to careers advice.<\/p>\n

So I gave it my best shot! And I’ve got the bug for it now. I’m not actually a stranger to public speaking, but going back to the place (give or take the four walls changing) where I developed (groan) as a photographer, well it really was special.<\/p>\n

Owen De Visser<\/a> kindly shot these two frames while I was speaking, yes I did smile thank you very much!<\/p>\n

Did we manage to inspire the students?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well only their futures will testify to that but I personally  met some excellent people in that room. The group seemed very similar to my group, maybe we are all alike… as a whole. Though I’m not sure which of the 28 was the modern day me!<\/p>\n

Here’s a phone shot of one of the winning groups, and a pano from my iPhone. \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

If you’d like to hire me for your event just get in touch below or via any social media outlet you follow me on. It’d be great to meet!<\/p>\n\n
