My last post showed latent images that I made in the Summer of 2016 at a revisited Edgelands site. Another long running project I am engaged in is making a documentary record of the seemingly endless changes presented to us along the docklands of the Orwell. I am very grateful to Richard Lister and his […]
Are our Police getting younger?
These days I ask that question a lot and it is not just police that seem to be younger than me, most people are. Not only are the police I have had to deal with of late younger, much younger than me there are very much fewer of them compared to years ago and I’m […]
More latent images
I normally do not shoot my Edgelands series during the summer months but this year I decided to revisit a place that has featured significantly in that series. The location is the old British Sugar factory entrance at Sproughton, a place that very much minded me of Keith Arnatt’s Miss Grace’s Lane, a series that […]
Of latent images
For the last 8 weeks normal service has been disrupted by events beyond my control. During the late summer I got a call from University of Suffolk to undertake a commission for the newly refurbished Atrium building. The resulting two images were made digitally and ended up being 11.9m and 8.1m in length. It turned […]
Place and Placement
Well now, I was recharging spiritual batteries in Southwold yesterday as at least they are batteries that I can recharge unlike the replacements for my recently stolen ones that are proving difficult to obtain. Enough of that. I took a leisurely stroll along the promenade towards the pier whilst Mrs O was learning all about […]
Where did October go?
I knew October was going to be a very busy month but I was under-prepared for the eventual outcomes of the month. Being ultra busy with three exhibtions kicking off in the month and Mrs O’s 60th there was little time for much else. Admittedly I’ve got a few technical problems on top of the […]
East London Photomonth
It is all kicking off over here in London. The annual Autumn photofest has started in East London. A lecturer from University of Suffolk – Paola Leonardi – has opened her show at Leytonstone. By chance I bumped into her last week as I was heading into London for the Agile Business Conference. I’m back […]
All in apple pie order
Life has been hectic lately. I had huge amounts of other work going on in the background to do with a major re-branding of an organisation I am a director of that coincided with an international Agile Business Conference. Thankfully that transition took place seamlessly owing to the professionalism of all parties involved in producing […]
Waiting, just waiting
We spend much of our lives waiting. Waiting for buses, trains, the light to change, for something to happen like the lights going out on the grid of an F1 race and waiting for the end of whatever it is we have been waiting for. I certainly spend more time than I ought to waiting […]
Well, I’d never be a tailor with stitching like that
I know my eyes were weary yesterday after a Thursday starting at 05:30 in St Ives and finishing at 05:30 in Ipswich on Friday but what poor stitching in that 10 minutes after sunrise image! I noticed it only when I zoomed to full screen much later on. I had half expected some issues especially […]
