Petroc - the new name for East Devon and North Devon Colleges

Edited 25 Sept 09

I have decided to delete this post. There has been a lot of talk around Petroc about the new name and how it may or may not work and not all of it has been positive.

While this post was, in my opinion, fairly positive towards the new name, I’ve decided to delete it as I don’t want any problems from on high.

The new name is growing on me though, shame it doesn’t seem to be for a lot of people.

Knightshayes & Grand Western Canal

Richie G — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 18:50:32 +0000

Another Thursday, another day out taking photographs with the AS Photography Students…

This time we went to the nearby National Trust property, Knightshayes Court, followed by a quick jaunt to the Grand Western Canal. As with the students, I took more photos at Knightshayes than the canal, but more importantly, today was the first day of using my brand new Nikon D60 DSLR camera, which is actually MINE!!! I no longer have to borrow cameras from work (having said that, I’m in London on Saturday and will probably borrow one of the J10 cameras!). I’ve only been taking photos as a ‘photographer’ (of sorts) for about seven years now…

Anyway – photos. Here you go. Enjoy!

Eden Project Trip

Richie G — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 22:57:26 +0000

Today, work was a little different. Instead of spending the day in Tiverton, a minibus was taken down to the Eden Project in Cornwall so that some of the photography students could take some photos. Of course, I wasn’t one to miss out on an opportunity like this, so under the guise of ‘Technical Support’ I went along with Sharon to help out. Of course, everybody went their separate ways so actually my ‘technical support’ wasn’t necessarily required, but at least I was there.

The minibus was a bit dodgy though, especially as Sharon had problems finding fourth gear on occasions, and any form of gradient steeper than 3% would tend to conk it out. In fact, on the way back I was messing around with my phone as I was bored and set my Facebook status so it read ‘Richard isn’t sure that the college minibus will make it to the top of this hill’ and sent a couple of people text messages to that effect as well.

Anyway, of the 290-odd photos I took, I’ve managed to whittle it down to about fifty which will appear below for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy. Photos include stuff which will (eventually) go into the larger ‘Bridges Project’ that was started while I was a student at college and also ‘Photos of People taking Photos’.
