I studied Photography at UCS and graduated in October 2013. Having started studying Photography at Colchester Sixth Form in 2006 my former hobby became a great interest. I went on to study Art Foundation at Colchester Institute and then studied a year at LCC (part of University of the Arts London) starting a BA Photography course there. Finding that I did not enjoy living in London at all I decided to move universities and start afresh in Ipswich. I am interested in getting feedback on work and project ideas from this blog, along with sharing influences. I currently work in an art shop which is great fun and I am also teaching the children's workshops we hold there! I am also a keen baker and love creating interesting and unique designs!
One of my photos has been used by the Nottingham hidden history team in an article that was published last week. I'm awaiting a printed copy to be kindly posted to me but for now here is the article online https://nottinghamhiddenhistoryteam.wordpress.com/2015/05/25/nottinghamshires-part-in-richard-iiis-story/

A photo of my great uncle Fritz who died Christmas Eve last year - a day after my grandmother’s 88th birthday - with his mother, her parents and her grandfather. I think this must have been taken around 1923/1924 as he was born in 1922. My Grandmother lived in the house this photo was taken in front of until February 2008. L-R Rudolph Meyer, Eleonore Meyer, Fritzi Schmölder, Fritz Schmölder and Friedrich Hamelmann. Rudolph and Friedrich were both captains for the Norddeutscher Lloyd.
SS Bremen was a German-built luxury transatlantic liner constructed for the Norddeutscher Lloyd line (NDL). She was the most advanced high-speed steam turbine ocean liner of her day. The ship took the Blue Riband from the RMS Mauretania in 1929 as the mightiest transatlantic ship. She was 17m longer than the RMS Titanic. She sank destroyed by fire in 1941.
Because our celestial neighbor is relatively close to Earth, these full moons will appear to be unusually large. That distance varies because the moon follows an elliptical orbit. When it’s close and full, it appears bigger and brighter than normal.
The full moon Saturday may seem huge, but it’s just an illusion caused by its position in the sky. Two other supermoons will come later this summer on Aug. 10 and Sept. 9.
