Research Commences

Here in London things have been pretty hectic. My location is a bit farther from the city center than I expected so travel times are having to be adjusted into my schedule. Deciding on a day to day schedule has been a difficult part of independent research. Also, organizing gallery memberships and organizing transportation overall has been a bit challenging. I think I have also misplaced the map I bought the other day... unfortunate.

I have been able to do some research looking into audio tours and the Tate touch tours. I'm still waiting to hear back from the coordinators of the touch tours to pin down a time for interviewing them. It has been overall just great being in the UK most of the people I talk to about this research are really interested and intrigued by the concept of art for the visually impaired and it has just been very encouraging having so many people offer to help in anyway they can. Now I just have to figure out what ways they can help!

On a personal note, I'm glad that homesickness hasn't kicked in and I'm hoping that it won't anytime soon. I have 7 more weeks and I don't plan on letting up before the end! Too much to do, too much to explore, too much to uncover!
