jobs, prints, tickets and cigarettes

Footprints in the snow (not sand) ... 4th March 06.

Thanks everyone for such lovely comments, good to here from you all!

I don't really have any more news since last week. Actually I guess I do - the office I work at finally has permission for a permanent role so I will be leaving there in around 2 weeks. I'm going to start looking for new positions this weekend...maybe I'll make use of the marketing contacts for arts & performance organisations that I've had on hand for a while.

In other news I bought a ticket to a Glaswegian band Mogwai play here in Edinburgh which should be cool. On the creative side, I've collected a very large print of the photo below to go on display in our lounge room, and bought a b&w film to take more pics. I'm going to try to find the best place in Edinburgh where I can sit and watch people and hopefully get some good candid shots.

I went to the community arts cafe that I mentioned last week, but for a party not to use the darkroom yet - there were lots of 'smoking' parties last saturday night so people could suck as many cancer sticks as possible before the ban on smoking in public places commenced on Sunday. There has been a lot of debate about how well the smoking ban will go. There was actually quite a bizarre story in the paper this week about a man who is blaming his father's death on the smoking ban...he said if his father hadn't been forced to get up and go outside for a cigarette then he wouldn't have fallen and hit his head on the bar and died. He made a call for the ban to be taken away for old and disabled people in public places to curb such dangers of having to walk through the premises and outside. What is this world coming to???
