Update on Gmax and future events

Well, least time I wrote here was a bout that stupid unnecessary London trip that cost me 50£.

Today’s post is about strike no3. To get this from the start. It was another usual day where

Mark calls me and we got the usual -things need to be done conversation. At some point he says, look at the email as I send you something; to my surprise there was an e mail from a scheme program from goldsmiths university. At first I didn’t get the point of it and then realised that the mail was another way of extending my contract to Gmax till a “more permanent” solution was found. The next couple of days would be the ones that made this strike no3.

At some point in one of those days Mark texts me that the people from that scheme will contact me, I tell him that I will wait and in fact they do.

During the call the day asked two questions; was I out of formal education?and out of employment and the second one was was I staying in London? There was the problem. I said that I would need to talk to Mark first. When we had another conversation about the matter he simply said, “give your old address”. Of course I questioned Mark about the seriousness of what he had said and he was adamant about it.

That was the moment that I decided not to proceed with this. I simply can not give my old address to sign up to something I can’t even attend. There is the money issue as well… will Mark pay my tickets for three days? I think not; in fact he has still not compensated me for the 50£ I lost, even though he said he would.

In other news a few days after this unfortunately disheartening conversation, I came across a job placement at the Norfolk council; it was for a course facilitator for the creative department. I applied and pretty soon I had interview. The interview consisted of a set of questions and a ten minute presentation of a part of the course. There were also a set of scenarios which as a teacher I would have to find out how to control an resolve. At the end of this, the lady said that in the next few weeks she will send me an email that says what necessary paperwork I must have with me to proceed. To me that means that I have secured the placement but entirely, not until I get that e mail.

That’s all for this post #staytuned for more updates

Thought I’d post this winter-y photo since most of my posts are without any images, also tried to sort of replicate a film look which I will upload in the next post…#staytuned

Photobook Progress VI

So finally the dummy book is printed!

This time I decided to put it together with staples I decided not to stitch it as it would be more difficult to find a suitable stitching technique...

Below I have included a snapshot of the process of paper testing ...

Take a look at the finished product below!
