The manager introduced me to the most amazing Photographer I have seen in ages. I do not think I have been this excited by a Photographer since I saw Susan Derges' work a fair few years ago now. Everything of late tends to be... boring? Or maybe I have become over critical with what I like or do not like?
I love the buzz you get when you view someones work and you feel in your soul a connection with it. It excites you how they have created something so amazing that you become awe struck, stunned to silence by their genius. I know I sound like a pompous, bumbling idiot but I really do believe it. It is like hearing a song for the first time and thinking it is the best thing ever to be heard [again something I have not felt in a long time... perhaps old age is hitting me now?]
So my new Photography love, my crush of the camera world is Charles Emerson. His work can be viewed here: http://charlesemerson.co.uk/

So now I feel creatively revitalised, that I can look at my work and keep pushing it and shaping it and hopefully keep on producing works that I feel confident with. I think bringing my work together in one fluid movement has really helped me focus my creative energy. Definitely going to keep pushing for an exhibition soon, fingers crossed!!
