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. […]
All I want is a fairy on top now
So, I spent a total of 14 hours perfecting a hang of ‘equals’ work in the UCS Waterfront building over the weekend and Monday this week only to have my work blocked by an Oxfam display then a midwife team going for a record and now to top it all a bloody Christmas tree plonked […]
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 […]
Latest Large format landscape & portraits out of the can
The technician at UCS had a busy Wednesday last week whilst I was attending the Agile Business Conference in London. I had queued up 22 5×4 negatives plus countless rolls of 220, 120 and 35mm films over the last month and it has taken a weekend interspersed with research work to process them. Some of […]
Fuji PA-145 back on Toyo View
This has not been a good week for me. Coming down from an exhaustive but rewarding event as part of equals=ephemera to slump into post-admistrative treacle and a home without a dog that seemed to be very much bigger than he was, I needed to find something positive to do and when I finally got […]
Lights go out
This has been a roller coaster of of a journey these last 4 months and indeed these last 13 years. Four months of equals exhibiting work in three locations came to an end on Saturday after a hectic last day of our ‘ephemera’ event in Ipswich Town Hall as part of the inaugural Recreate Ipswich […]
Friday 13th September – ephemera
equals=ephemera’s penultimate day resulted in some interesting visitors and results. A day that started with having our dog Sam put down after living with us for 13 years had to have some positive results and a few are shown here. Let’s hope tomorrow will bring lots of people into our studios at Ipswich Town Hall.
After Radio
Well, Lesley Dolphin, BBC Radio Suffolk certainly did us a favour in Gallery 3 at Ipswich Town Hall. Visitors turned up today in what can only be described as singularly inclement conditions because they heard about us on the wireless. Here are a few pictures made today. The Scottish Widows lookalike was made by Keith […]
equals = BBC Radio Suffolk
Today, I had a delightful wireless interview with Lesley Dolphin fromBBC Radio Suffolk. All in all it has been a good start to week 2 of our residency at Ipswich Town Hall. We have had repeat footfall and interest in our work. Couple that with with a gaggle of last year’s new intake about to […]
Busy ephemera Saturday
Saturday, as expected, was the busiest day of our first week in Gallery 3 at Ipswich Town Hall. We started off with a continuation of large format photographic techniques and created a new Rembrandt lighting arrangement in the low key studio using barn doors and snoots with honeycomb grids to control the lighting. The lighting […]
