Tonight I went to meet my old friend Jamie Geoghegan.
Jamie has recently graduated from a graphic design degree and agreed to help me out with what I needed for the magazine.
After all the set backs I was looking at the meeting with Jamie as a positive step forward after the glitches of the last week.
We had a good chat and despite some reservations about the project because he didn't think there was any creative people there, by the end Jamie was convinced which was good, but he himself didn't feel inspired by the Island, but perhaps would if he knew a few more creatives living there.
We spoke for about 2 hours and at the end Jamie decided to tell me he was going away the next week and needed everything for the graphic in the next two days. This was humanly impossible for me...so again, I had another hitch!

23.11.11 Rapanui, no time to talk!!!
This has been the third cock up of the week..
I have been relentlessly emailing Rapanui in regards to an interview.
They have been such a priority as have received mainstream media attention of late and their USP is the Island.
They got back to me today and can't do this week, they are going on business to York. We've agreed to reconvene in 2 weeks. Its another set back, but they have said they want to speak to me in person so that is a positive I am taking out of this!!
But again,
Bugger.

22.02.11 Ventnor Blog too Busy!!!! ARGH
Despite Oscar not coming, I still had interviews to set up UNTIL NOW.
Just spoken to VentnorBlog and they are really busy with the Island funding cuts. They have suggested I email them questions, however I don't really know how I can condense what I need to say...
I've never done an interview prior to this project, however now I have realised my interview style is to probe my interviewee's into the direction of the interview....I haven't really had questions prepared for any of them!
Maybe thats unprofessional, maybe its my "style". I'll go with "my style"!!!
This second cancellation has left me a little disheartened now..everything was moving so fast and I've reached my first hump. It was bound to happen, but at least in Rochester I have Uni for comfort. I feel I've been on the Island for about a year now, it's less that a week!

21.02.11 Oscar can't make it
I'm home, been here since Thursday....
This weekend I planned to see Hannah and Katy, hopefully Rapanui and VentnorBlog.
I was only going to stay until Sunday, but Oscar said he would be down for the week so we could start on the portraiture...HOWEVER, he has just got back to me today and has a job at AllSaints so obviously he's not coming.
Now I am panicking because I'm here for a week and doesn't seem like much is going to plan!!!
ARGH!!!
