A levels in Art, Physics, Design, English and Gen studies (a joke). Joy of joys. The horrendous levels of coursework.Comment

1995
First year at Uni. Good grief. Spent the first 2 weeks absolutely lashed from party to party. There wasn't a lot I didn't do in that first year. Was somewhat promiscuous.
Started a film society that ended up with over 350 members - as we offered a discount to card-holders at the local cinema - through a great deal. Got priority access to all the decent film equipment and editing stuff through this. The first uni society there that enabled users to join online. Bloody proud of what the team achieved in the 3 years that society was active.
Started my first mini business selling art at manageable prices with a good cut to local businesses, offices, cafes etc, using the art students' portfolios and giving them a bit of cash, with the opportunity to get their work out there, even did some commissions.
At this stage was also freelancing photography to the Coastguard, weddings, local paper.Comment

Spent the Millennium New Year lying on a beach with a bottle of champagne, some mates, a fire, cocktails, all that good stuff, toasting the stars.Last edited by realityhack; 6 March 2008, 14:17.Comment

London. work work work plus studies - tough time, hard work getting on your feet in this city. Knuckled down to it and worked like hell. Up to advanced training in (then) Macromedia suite and markup. Few photography opportunities - everything was online. Switched back to combining editing experience with Flash + Director producing animations.Comment
