I jumped in the car to go and attend Bill’s PV at Halesworth today and nothing. The dashboard lit up like a flashing Christmas tree but the engine would not fire. Move on 45 minutes and the RAC had diagnosed a failed battery. A new one materialised out of his van, my plastic was handed over and I was off and by the time I got to Halesworth the sun was cracking the flags.

I’m so glad I got there. Bill’s works raises the game in photographic terms. His exhibition CARTOGRAPHIE LUMINAIRE is on at the New Cut in Halesworth.

It is well, nothing less than superb. There is a short film about his North Sea Drawings and how he made them. I’m glad I worked out more or less what he had done before seeing the film.
I would urge anyone who uses photography to make their art to go and see this exhibition which shows several different themes of Bill’s work.
It raised my vibrations after a tawdry week.

He has given me some ideas, or should I say catalysed some ideas I had bouncing around my head to do with photographing in darkness. I’ll chalk those up for experimentation later in the year when darkness predominates in our daily calendar.
