Building work, Grange Hill, London

The joy of being freelance is being able to take on any jobs that pay the bills. Got a call from a mate who's a builder and part time photographer. He was a man short for a job ripping up and re concreting a garage in Grange Hill.

Spent the whole day shoveling, drilling, lifting, digging etc... really nice and refreshing to be doing a manual labour job

Start up business meeting

Although I feel my photography is at a professional level I don't feel I have enough business skills to deal with that side of being a full time freelancer. I have been calling round and researching start up business advice and found a great government funded institution in based in Stratford. I went in and had a talk with Jim Price and he gave me some great pointers and advice and enrolled me in a 4 day business course in January so I can learn more about things like: Finances, correct invoicing, taxes, business accounts, inland revenue, VAT, marketing, business planning etc etc.... Looking forward to it and really want to do things right from the start and get into good habits.

Uni Graduation ceremony

I graduated from my Uni degree with a BaHons 2:1 and had my graduation ceremony today at the Barbican centre. Scary walk along the stage with thousands of people watching but a great way to end the course and last time to see all my uni mates before everyone goes their separate ways.
