As The Dust Settles
In February of 2014 I went for a chat at my local college. Never could I have imagined the impact this small action would have on my life and my photography.

Obviously there are still the bits and pieces for the exhibition to sort out but this is really it. The end point. Goal reached. It's been an intense, stressful and hard three years and I'm as ready for leaving as I am unprepared. This is the accumulat
