I have been struggling to get my personal project off the ground, partly due to technical issues (as I mentioned previously), and partly due to a lack of being able to plump for a theme to my body of work. I am sad to report that I have decided not to continue with shooting film for this series, as time is getting really short, and I don't think I can pull it out of the bag with the time restrictions that I face. So, on Sunday I used a lengthy train journey to mind-map in an attempt to come up with a theme that means something to me. What emerged after many scribbles and lists is my decision to produce a series of images which relate to the health benefits of owning a pet. My images will not be obvious representations of health problems - more a series of people and their pets, combined with some facts and quotations about health benefits. The stage I'm currently at in the process is bringing people in and arranging shoots, as many as possible in the time left, and also planning what it is I want to achieve from these shoots.
Here are a couple from a shoot I did this evening. Please ignore the light-stand in shot as photoshop has crashed and I need to uninstall the whole thing before I can use it again.

If you have any feedback for me, it would be much appreciated.
