#75 | Find your purpose through action
Author Daniel Pink has written more than seven books about human psychology. Even after publishing multiple books, he still finds the writing challenging. Writing a book does not get easier, it gets a little bit less uncertain, but it does not get any easier. And arguably, it might get harder because the more experience you have, both as a writer and as a reader, the more you realize what is…

Experiments
Having fun experimenting with aging my labels showing what the object has been through with; dirt, tea, blood, oil, paint and other experiments.
Final outcome of experiment of ageing and toning
The first can experiment, first 3 photos, was exploring how the tin would tarnish with the label still upon the tin. It didn't work that well with the label take most of the heat but there were some lovely areas of tarnishing that gave me hope that burning the whole tin will leave a good effect.
The other photos are from experiment two where I peeled off the label and then heated up the tin. The process of heating the tin up and then putting it straight into cold water left some great effects upon the tin. The issue that is still there is the can still has a new shine to it which doesn't fit with how old the object dating back to the first world war. I feel the object should have ageing and rust upon it.
Experimention of labels
Using pre-existing labels upon a couple objects which I thought could be the cylinder of a grenade. Distressing the labels by using some paper helping to fade and distort different areas trying to capture an effect of being old used and battered that have been around for years.
The issues I have found with the chewing gum plastic pot was, it's quite small and didn't have much room to be a cylinder container for a hand grenade. The issue with the tomato soup tin was it was really shiny looking new which doesn't fit with the aesthetics of a 1914 to 1918 jam tin which would have been battered around the trenches covered in mud and probably rusty.
David Neat
David is a model maker who has been mentioned several times to us now, so I thought I’d do a bit of research into him and these if if him would be helpful to my project or ideas. what I found was that he is a very technical model maker and what I mean is that he knows a lot of different ways to capture and show texture, surfaces, build layers, staircases, and bring the ideas to life which I thought was really interesting. I’ve had a quick look on into his website and there seems to be some pointers into model making and I think there are some YouTube videos of him talking about the techniques he has used and learnt so I think over one of the brakes or holidays or in my spare time I might do a bit of experimentation with a few of his techniques that I learn or pick up.
Barn photos
June 10th 2018
A different feel to the photos from my latest visit to the barn, more detail and colour which hadn’t been revealed before. I am pleased with the quality of the image at such enlargement, and the contrast of light and black in each image, the shapes and fine detail. These seem to give a strong reference to the specific and the more abstract simultaneously
