Fulfilling student stereotypes – Part 2

I've been planning to get more photos printed, but haven't found time to get around to it. I have found more voucher codes for free prints but I fancied bigger ones than 4x6 or 6x8s. The existing A4 prints were made by myself, but they gobbled up the ink cartridges in my home printer. The compromise? The students union print shop. For 23p a page, 5p glossy print surcharge, and a £1.50 "under £5 from USB" surcharge it wasn't too costly to get 8 prints made. Not as high quality as the home prints because they're not on genuine photo card/paper, and they're not printed to the edge, but I'm happy enough.

So, what pictures have I had produced for me? The now iconic Obama "Hope" poster, and two satirical pastiches thereof based on Darwin and Griffin (all on right). There's images of Valentino Rossi and Bettie Page (both left) to reflect the main pin-board photo array (see October blog 'part 1'). Another Bouguereau offering entitled "The Nymphaeum", and a performance shot of Jacques Brel (top left and right, respectively). Finally an image that captured my imagination when I first saw it. It's a shot of Gaza-based American freelance journalist Erin Cunningham speaking with a group of Hamas militia in the spring of 2009 (top centre - original).

As with my previous entry on this theme, here is a view of the end product:



Oh, and that in the middle? Just my write-on/wipe-off scheduler so I don't forget when I need to get on campus.

NB - It's my photography that's wonky, not the pictures.
