One of the plants I am currently photographing is foxing me. This plant is growing on contaminated ex-factory ground and to all intents and purposes, it looks drought resistant judging by the silvery hairy leaves. What type of plant is it? It seems to be quite frost reistant so far also.
Strange week
The past week has been full on and utterly exhausting. What with hanging the Trafalgar show at Prettys and the scary incident of a 24 year old fellow student working on the hang suffering a stroke, fitting in a 6 hour shooting day for Edgelands, researching for degree project and dissertation I feel wrung out. […]
More edgelands photographs
My degree project continues. These are some more emerging content for my edit on being just outside or in-between AONBs The fly-tipping is an interesting one in that I was on the team that introduced Landfill Tax. My role as Business Analyst on that project saw beyond the revenue take and green aspirations at the […]
Swansong
Photographing on the edges for my degree project discovers hidden gems in this fine county of Suffolk. This picture just off the Strand outside the AONB by the width of a road was a surprise find.
Medium format Bronica SQAi
I do not use this camera as often as I should. The results in this post speak volumes for both Kodak Portra 400 and the stunningly sharp lenses. The 50mm wide angle is about as sharp as it gets. These two images shot on Portra 400 look so different to the large format images […]
Recovered Fuji Instant negatives
This week has been very topsy-turvy with my little office helper not here anymore. One of the ideas that came to light during our ‘ephemera’ event was the recovery of negatives from Fuji instant film. In the past I have chucked these into my waste bag and just scanned the print but today I recovered […]
Individual Practice – Ten Minutes
So, April came and went with just about every season possible wrapped into 30 days. A birthday passed by in a blur , as did Easter and also a very successful Prettys Primavera art show that I curated plus organising two other exhibitions with two other students . Add to that a dollop or three […]
Individual Practice
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 […]
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
