Writing, and Reviewing and Organising Photographic Outputs

As I draw close to the half-way mark in my PhD journey, I have started thinking more about the outputs of the PhD, and in particular the thesis, and how I might present my photographic work.  With this in mind, I have now started writing sections of the thesis clocking up 20,000 words in draft, and reviewing, organising and presenting my photographic work.

And as a means of recording progress on my thesis preparation here are the drafted sections to date:

I am reviewing all of my images from Practice Periods 1-8 and will use The Emotigram to review in detail several images from each portfolio.

It is my intention to produce a portfolio and gallery of between 12 and 18 images for each period of work that will be published on my website and in this blog.  This will allow me to retrieve images to include in my thesis quickly and easily and find those that best illustrate my written work.  As a starting point, here is the Portfolio for Practice Period 1.
