Today I started my work experience at Snappy Snaps in Chelmsford, Essex. I have known I was doing my placement here for a while now, and today was finally the day to start. I left the house this morning, and arrived there at 9:00am. During the morning I visited the bank 3 times, for a combination of paying in and getting change for the shop. I also was taught on the size of passport photos, and the correct and quick way on how to cut them out, so the abide by the strict rules of Passport control. I met up with My Dad at lunch. I then returned (After checking in!) In the afternoon I learnt how to develop Film cameras, and disposable cameras! That was quite interesting! Then I spent a while watching over a member of staff while they edited some photos. That was my day! I will keep you all updated via This Blog post! :D Remember to keep checking back each day :D Thanks!
Day 2:
Today was a much better day than yesterday! I learnt how take passport photos so that they are accepted by the UK Border Force. I also edited many photos and changed the contrast, and changed the lightness in peoples photos. I also developed nine disposable cameras! I went to McDonalds for lunch, and used their Free Wi-Fi! I will be visiting there most if not all days! Check back tomorrow for the latest! :)
Day 3:
Well Today started with a big 'un-expected' journey to London. I set of to Wickford Station, and got on the train. I realised that it wasn't stopping at Shenfield when it flew straight through the station! So I had to travel all the way up to Stratford (London) and then change platforms and get on a different train that took me all the way back to Chelmsford. This added a good 45 minutes to my journey... But Hey! I got there in time to pay a visit to McDonalds first. Below is a map:

Day 4:
Well the days are just getting better and better! I am really enjoying my working life in Chelmsford. I like my colleagues and the working structure. I have learnt a lot in the past four days, and would like to continue working within the industry! I have a great time when I am at Snappy Snaps, and I never get the feeling that 'I wish I could leave' Which is a bonus!!

Day 6:
Well the start of a new working week today! I arrived at the usual time of 09:00am after my daily visit to McDonalds for a cup of tea to start the day! I finally collected 6 stickers, which meant I got a free one at lunch time! I went to work and I was asked by my boss, Alex if I could design and make a new price list using the Snappy Snaps layout, I carried out this task via Adobe Photo Shop. I really enjoyed making this, It is such a nice programme to use. After this I printed some photos and cut them to size, served some customers and then met my dad for lunch. This afternoon, I visited the bank a few times (Several Different Ones) Then we all had a laugh when we were a bit quiet of customers. Another Great Day on the Whole! :D

Day 7:
Today was great! We had such a laugh, us staff at Snappy Snaps! We had deliveries which meant a lot of boxes in a small space... Funny! :D Jemima tweeted about herself from my Twitter. And I made a mess of paper on the floor for her to hoover it up, hehe. So on the whole, another great day!

Day 8:
Well I had another great day at Snappy Snaps, apart from the feeling of knowing tomorrow is my last day :( I have never met such kind and funny people like the people I work with. I am going to miss them all! :( Today I scanned in over 300 photo negatives which tool time, but showed I was dedicated within my work! I will be sad to say goodbye tomorrow. I have made such good friends with everybody there, especially Jemima!

Well today was my last day, and I was very sad to say good bye, I have enjoyed every moment of it! Great people, Great place, Great time! On the bright side they have asked me if I would come back and work during the summer! :D
