I have spent most of my working career in architecture and its where I have made most of my professional photography. I have never worked solely as a photographer. I have to consider, being in my mid 50's, if I could find employment within the photography industry. With this in mind, the only other option would have to be self-employed. When I applied for this course, it wasn't to improve my job prospects, it was to better my understanding of the subject. I was at a personal crossroads with my practice, questioning the very reason for taking photographs. The course so far has inspired me to push boundaries and investigate new concepts. It has made me excited about the subject again. For the moment, I haven't decided on my future practice; hopefully, this will become clearer as I progress the course.
