Not a photographer, but I have signed up for Media and Photography A-level at college today. Course fees come to nearly £300... damn. Plus I now need to buy a 35mm camera (SLR preferably), but its whatevers in my price range. My interviewer recommended that I do photography because Im interested in journalism, and I told him I would rather be an independent journalist rather than work for 'The Man'.
In two years, hopefully Ill be setting off to some war-torn country in search of the story that noone else has found. Difficult and dangerous; for me its just fun.
