Pill Project - 1
Thanks peter denton, top chap
Pill Project - 1
Alex Norton is a photography student at Newport University, Gwent. He recently completed a project in Pillgwenlly (known to all as ‘Pill’) in which he documented the social work of Norman Parcelle, an ex-Newport County football player who now coaches 14-20 year olds. “The project’s based around football, but its not about football” says Alex. “Football holds these people together, whether through friendship or a career choice. But most of all, it’s about a positive future.”
Alex was invited to exhibit some of his photographs at the Pill Millennium Centre, in the heart of the community. To add to the edginess of his project, he handwrote his picture captions in a notebook, tore out the pages, and stuck them to the walls under the images. It was an effective result – and a good exhibition.

I'm having a bit of a dilemma with photography. Also a dilemma with life, things have been running so smoothly, but at the same time things will drastically change in the next few days, and I'm faced with going home for 4 months. It is an odd prospect, I will need to work and find my feet again in a place where I feel a stranger. I sabotage things that are going well, complete happiness is only temporary and its hitting home. She will be gone for 4 months, and I need to detach myself so I can move on with my life. Cut the chord and see if the feelings are still there in 4 months time. the prospect of 'relationships' scare me senseless. mainly because I am always looking for the next person, I need to stop doing that. also over time I have come to the conclusion, a relationship isn't everything, and love is something to be taken care of over time. who knows what love is at this age, who knows if you can really have a relationship at this time, it all seems so immature at this age. The next few years will be crucial in me as a person, I have made a lot of steps forward this year, but plenty back. It is negative at this stage as I am coming to terms things will change, and maybe for the better, take it as experience, all of it. and learn from it later on in life, don't make the same mistakes again because it is hopeless.
At the moment I am feeling lost and slowly lonely and detached from the people that mean a lot.
I am pretty stupid when it comes to things like this.
