    First There Was New York – Next Stop Paris?

    Now you might remember that last week I shared that 3 of my selfies had been selected as part of an exhibition in New York. Well, the same organisation See:Me is pulling together an exhibition in Paris. And I’d really love to be there. I’ve submitted 9 of my most recent selfies which I’ve created using double exposures, like the one above. I’m mixing together two images – a selfie and one other – to create a new image, one that situates myself in my environment. Why am I telling you all this? Well, because I’d really appreciate your vote for the People’s Choice Award. If you feel called to…

    Because Business Should Be Delicious

    When I was in the end stage of my phd, I paid a visit to the university business enterprise centre. I had a meeting with a very nice man and explained to him that I had 3 degrees (BA, MLitt, Phd), over 9 years of education at undergraduate and postgraduate level, 3 years of university teaching experience, and presented papers at a number of international conferences, and I wanted to start a business that allowed me to make use of the knowledge I’d accumulated and the skills that I’d developed over the last decade. Something brilliant and completely unique. Something personal and mind-expanding and heart-opening. Something individual and brave and…
