The latest assignment at UCS is Individual Practice. This is based upon reflecting upon one’s previous work and developing it further. I analysed my previous assignments and the result is that most of my work has been presented as an abstraction of some sort. My previous assignment focussed (sic) on the colour ‘Yellow’ and the […]
Neglecting one’s posts
I have been noticeably absent from regular posting this month, and indeed last month also. This has been because of blogging on a different platform for University assignment work. What I have realised is that time is even more precious than I already knew but dividing precious time into social media contibutions has to cause some disruption […]
Renaissance Breast Cancer Photography 2013
I’ve entered 3 images to this competition tonight.
Red letter(sic)
As a part of my recent exercise into photographing yellow on the street for the Fujifilm Student Awards ‘the colour of…’ competition, I have been drawn to litter and wondering why and who discards is. For some time now on my walk into UCS, I have noticed discarded used condoms near St Edmund’s House where […]
McCullin
I just got back from a screening of McCullin. I had an overwhelming feeling of being on the verge of weeping at many points in this film. In a word it is harrowing and ought to be compulsory viewing for all photography students.
Cuculus Prospectus

Rejuvenated photographer
The latest assignment at UCS has taken the shape of a competition entry. I decided to enter the Fuji-film student awards ‘The Colour of…’ and despite a slow start with having a week off from a bad attack of influenza I am now buzzing. 10 rolls of 120 Fuji 160NS/400H plus 6 5×4 160NS later, […]
Blue
Here it is. My new theme. This is titled Blue. Fuji GW670III Fuji 160NS
February is very quiet so far
I’ve not been well hence the rather quiet blogging experience. The last two days have seen me catching up on lost time and shooting for the Fujifilm student awards competition. I’m using the GW670III and my trusty Bronica SQAi with a Metz 45CL as the lighting has been dire and all I had was 160NS […]
Fujifilm Student Awards 2013
I’ve been very quiet for the last week on account of a very bad attack of influenza. I’m not back up to speed yet and have had to take the week off from University to recuperate. I’ve been catching up on new assignment work and have taken up the option to enter the Fujifilm Student […]
