New Blog
My blog has moved! You can now find it on my brand spanking new portfolio website: oholmwood.com
I’m building it myself from scratch in PHP, which I learned over the summer. So it’s work in progress, at the moment.

Pretty Pictures
After encouragement from Mike on Monday for everyone to get working away on their blogs, I thought I’d better stick up a few pictures to make me look busy.
On the mapping project, Kat and I are now working with Claudia and Vicky again, after it’s been confirmed this is a different project to the original one last term. We’re still going with my coin tracking idea at the moment and Vicky and I discussed some ideas via the wonders of MSN on Monday. Can’t remember any of them of course, but I’m sure they were great.
For my Artifact project, I’m currently going for the photographic work of Satoshi Matsuyama, over at http://www.love-peace-happiness.com . I really like the amazingly colourful and idealised worlds he creates using tonnes of different photos, and I reckon I could replicate one of his simpler ones, but he does tend to work extremely high res, which might be a problem. Still might look elsewhere for another artist, but he’s the one I’m sticking with for the moment.

London Trip
Well, yesterday was the London trip, and I’m glad I went, if only for the meeting with the people from Special Moves. I found everything they had to say really useful and their working environment seems like a really fun place, and ultimately I think I’m aiming to work in that kind of place. The fact that most of them are former DAT (or MLA) students really makes it seem more possible to obtain that kind of job if you work hard enough. The Kinetica museum also had lots of really interesting installations in it, though it seems quite daunting that I would ever be able to even begin to make something like that!
I took lots of photos but unfortunately I can’t seem to get them off my phone at the moment. How annoying. And my group and I also missed our 8:35 train back home by about 5-10 minutes, so we had to wait around until 11:50 for the next one! And it took 2 hours longer so I didn’t get home until 5:30. Was a good experience though, and at least we didn’t have to buy new tickets.
