colour therapy

after talking with the art therapist at MASH i decided to look more into some of the things we spoke about, such as colour therapy.  We also spoke about a place called START Manchester which I had previously contacting regarding voluntary positions and work experience. They explained the positions they have are in frequent and for post grads looking to go into that field. Luckily the art therapist, Linda knows a guy who does work there and is starting work woth john lewis and the center doing 'wood turning' classes making chopping boards and she kindly offered to pass my name and details on to him so that I can hopefully get some experience with him over the summer. She also told me about an art's festival that is happening in Derby where her work is also being showcased. She invited me to come along and take some pictures and meet some contacts.

article on ehthics in photography

good article on ethics

Due to the nature of my placement I have become increasingly interested in the ethics of photography, today i came across a really good article on the BBC http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/0/21532400

As i am unable to display images revealing the service users identity, for the purpose of illustrating typical images which will only be able to be displayed in the center I have covered the face in this particular example to show.
