The reason that I like this image is because it shows the volunteer being very proactive and happy in his work. Every one would like to be happy in the work that they do but unfortunatley that is not and cannot be the case for everybody. I also like it as it shows him being happy in his life whilst facing challenges that are beyond his control on a daily basis but yet he is all round happy and getting on with his life doing the things that he wants to do whilst at the same time making a positive contribution for others to enjoy and providing a very important service to the upkeep of Brick Croft.
SILVER
SLOWLY, silently, now the moon
Walks the night in her silver shoon;
This way, and that, she peers, and sees
Silver fruit upon silver trees;
One by one the casements catch
Her beams beneath the silvery thatch;
Couched in his kennel, like a log,
With paws of silver sleeps the dog;
From their shadowy cote the white breasts peep
Of doves in a sliver-feathered sleep;
A harvest mouse goes scampering by,
With silver claws, and silver eye;
And moveless fish in the water gleam,
By silver reeds in a silver stream.

Peice of inspirational literature
The following was another peice of literature which I had linked to the whole morning has broken theme it is a poem from the book 'An Anthology of Modern Verse' which was my mother in laws wedding present of my father in law.
I felt that the whole theme contrasted well with the whole theme of night to morning mood and it inspired me to take my images in a way of highlighting the mood and incorporating the sliver through black and white processing of the morning breaking. However as mentioned previously my brief took me on a completely different journey in terms of what images I was photographing.
But I feel that it is important to include the poem in the blog as it was an important factor in my location process.

Meaning and Inspiration
The hymn Morning as Broken has always been a long standing memory of mine from when I was at Junior and it is a song/ hymn that has always stuck in my head.
When ever I have chose music for important events in my life i.e My Wedding Day, this is always the first song choice that comes into my head and I feel that it is important for it to be a part of my day.
When I decided that this was going to be used as part of my visual metaphor I was inspired to take images of the morning breaking, and wanted to use the Brick Croft to take my images, however once I arrived there and started taking images it kind of led me on a journey. In that when I was taking my photo's of what I had originally visualised I noticed other inspirational factors that all contributed to the wonderful natural preservation of the Brick Croft, and I really wanted to show the amazing work by the outstanding volunteers as these are the people that help to make the mornings so wonderful.

Chosen Literature
Morning Has Broken
Morning has broken
Like the first morning,
Black bird has spoken
Like the first bird.
Praise the singing!
Praise for the morning!
Praise for them springing
Fresh from the Word!
Sweet the rain's new fall
Sunlit from heaven,
Like the first dewfall
On the first grass.
Praise for the sweetness
Of the wet garden,
Sprung in completeness
Where His feet pass.
Mine is the sunlight!
Mine is the morning.
Born of the one light
Eden saw play!
Praise with elation,
Praise ev'ry morning,
God's recreation
Of the newday!
