New Land: Scotland






Weather for photography:

  • The atmosphere here works well as a gray card.
  • Overcast weather is preferable because it allows the colors stand on their own.
  • be sure to pack the tripod
I have now been in Scotland for two months. I have met many Americans, Irish, Dutch, Danish, English, German, and French. I have not met so many Scottish.

With some help and persistence, I was able to get an ad on the Napier staff and student website for my photography project.

03/29/07, 9:30am: I recently photographed a young woman from a nearby town, Musselburgh. She is 25, a peace activist, a guitarist, a photographer/film, and Scottish. Her boyfriend was English and was in a few photographs as well. My flat mate Michael came with me to help take notes and enjoy the company. What a great experience it was for the both of us. She had an interesting story and was was generous with the coffee brew in the wee hours of the morning.
