There has been so much going on lately that I have not been yomping into UCS at my usual times. Over the last 3 years I have walked a more or less similar route into UCS and crossing over Bond Street, I always look back over my shoulder to see if the doors are open […]
equals Historic & Contemporary exhibition work and ephemera work now hanging in the UCS Waterfront building
2013 has been a very busy year for a small group of enthusiastic students on my BA (Hons) Photography course. The original idea to hang some work outside of Uni came from Mel Belton in the first year but general apathy prevailed. Mel persisted however and in January this year we got together to try […]
Waiting……………
I happened upon this scene whilst on my way to QA the catalogue for the forthcoming Trafalgar Art show. I had forgotten the allotment gardens existed just this side of the railway viaduct but they looked beautiful in the drizzly damp Ipswich I was walking through. This old lady seemed to sum up everything I […]
By Any Means
A brief flash on the screen whilst I caught up with By Any Means the other night showed this piece of art just off Brick Lane The above taken on Nikon P6000 The original Man at Work was taken on Agfa Vista 200 on an FE2
A Millstone around the dock
I have never been a fan of ‘The Mill’ on Ipswich Waterfront. It has proved to be useful as a photographic subject but the building sits uneasily in its surroundings and add to that the fact that it is unoccupied it is hardly a real asset for Ipswich. I was surprised to see on-line footage […]
London on a lighter note
A few images from yesterday to lighten the the tone after my earlier post.
Street Art and all that
Today I went up to London to collect my rejects from Taylor Wessing 2013 with Keith Locke who had managed to get into the last 300 selected from 5410 entries. Pretty good going for Keith and a stunning image to boot. On the way we diverted to the Whitechapel Gallery and detoured down Brick Lane […]
and then the cupboard was bare….
Yesterday signalled a very sad day indeed as we finally locked the door on my mother-in-law’s home. Barely 7 months have passed since we had to place her into a dementia care home and virtually 33 years since she put us up there when we moved from London to Felixstowe. Obviously the end of the […]
Hare(sic) today, gone tomorrow
Yesterday I went to Wickham Market to view City and Guilds needlework exhibits. Some stunning work executed by the exhibitors with very clever use of form and colour. On the way in there were two Alvis cars of differing models and was lucky enough to get to talk to the owners of the green one […]
Analogue versus Digital
I regularly photograph this garage in Ipswich, either on my way to or from University Campus Suffolk. I shoot with whatever camera I have with me, Nikon P6000, Olympus Trip 35, Fuji GW670III, Nikon FE2 etc. Today’s shot was on the P6000, yet I see this garage as an analogue garage. What will happen when […]
