Jodie Sorrell: May 2012
http://jodiesorrell.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
May 22, 2012. I’ve come to the conclusion that some people have a strange notion of morality. Today I was asked while making myself a cup of tea, ‘What would do if you found out a disabled child had Cara? Everyone in the office knows I'm looking for my dog and often it's used as a conversation starter. You know the sort, 'how was your weekend? Have you found your dog yet? Today it was about my ethics. The woman remained adamant that I was in the wrong. 8216;My point exactly.’. At that point I turned to w...

Jodie Sorrell: Power's out
http://jodiesorrell.blogspot.com/2013/01/powers-out.html
January 14, 2013. Last night the neighbourhood I live in experienced a power outage. I live in a suburban area with plenty of houses and apartments wedged into an area the size of your average English country manor. I rang the power company to report it. They were already aware and had ‘dispatched a crew’. My plan of making tomato sauce from the kilos of Roma tomatoes I harvested was out the window because my cooker and oven run on electric. What should I do now? I lit the barbeque and grilled a lamb cho...

Jodie Sorrell: June 2013
http://jodiesorrell.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
June 17, 2013. My contract was cancelled today. Again. I’m f*cking over it! I’ve made a decision because I can’t keep doing a job I no longer feel any affinity for to maintain a lifestyle I don’t have. I have no lifestyle, because I’m always playing catch up financially and always broke. My decision. I thought about doing this last time I was out of work in January and even mentioned it to a few people and I was talked out of it. This time I’m doing it. Only yesterday I thought I was finally catching a b...

Jodie Sorrell: September 2012
http://jodiesorrell.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
September 25, 2012. A friend died today. I use the word friend because of the effect this news has had on me is unexpected, tear producing and a general feeling of overwhelming grief. The thing is I have never met this friend or even spoken to this friend. We’ve exchanged a few postcards and until this morning I only knew his parents as ‘the fatties’. Their names where only revealed to me through messages of condolence on Facebook. Yes, this is a Facebook friend. And those damned giant pumpkins! Barney B...

Jodie Sorrell: June 2012
http://jodiesorrell.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
June 29, 2012. I’m having a crisis of faith in the human race. Mahatma Gandhi once said ‘The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated’. If this is the case we, as a country are on a path to ruin and despair. My friend N, recently came into procession of a six week old kitten after it was found in a dumpster, cuddled up to his dead sister. What kind of animal would do that to another? The Human Animal, that's who. I know others that have been told they&...

Jodie Sorrell: Late
http://jodiesorrell.blogspot.com/2012/12/late.html
December 31, 2012. You’re not sorry, you’re rude. If you were sorry, you’d have allowed more time and not been late in the first place. I’m one of those people that tries to be earlier or on-time for everything I do. If I have an interview at 2.30, I’ll be there at 2.15. I’d rather be sat in reception twiddling my thumbs wondering if everyone that walks passed is the interviewer than have the interviewer think I don’t care enough to be on time. I’d love to be able to do this when meeting start late...

Jodie Sorrell: October 2012
http://jodiesorrell.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
October 25, 2012. The job market at the moment is an interesting one to be looking for a job in. In the last three weeks, three jobs that I have been submitted for have been cancelled due to 'Budgetary issues'. You'd think that budget would be sorted and finalised before putting a job out into the market place? Clearly not, or it's just the soft, fluffy stuff, change management, that is no longer being included or taken out of project briefs. I have five days. Written and Photographed by Fran Carleton.

Jodie Sorrell: 2012
http://jodiesorrell.blogspot.com/2012/12/2012.html
December 31, 2012. So another year has passed. Another year of struggling, trials and the odd moment of joy and hilarity. I go into 2013 still single with a menagerie of animals that ensure I get out of bed each morning (sometime afternoon). Let’s get into this:. I started the year at Field Day, a music festival, where I photographed Gotye, Kimbra and Calvin Harris. This pretty much set the scene for my photography projects for the year. I had a garage sale which was a disaster, I made $160. I found myse...
