I will post photos and travel information at the end of summer when i'm back.

Enjoy your summer.

BROWNIE 127.

I got given this by my mother who found it while unpacking boxes after the move. It was hers when she was younger and took it to Russia I think. Got some 127 film imported and I will give it a go and see if it works. I'll let you know.

POWER IN THE LANDSCAPE

These are my favourites not the finals. They are shot on my Hasselblad. As I haven't done a straight landscape project in a while, this was it. Looking at power flowing though the landscape and people not minding. People living around it as they know it powers society.

DOCUMENTING THE FAMILY ALBUM

This project is about documenting our memories and how we keep our photographs. It was produced a couple of months ago when I was getting ready to move my family home where I had only lived for 4 years. So this idea came from packing up photographs that have never been unpacked from the last move. For these images I was using found family photographs and re-photographing them using digital, as you know digital is not my preferred media but I gave it a go.

FORMAT International Photography Festival, Derby. Below are some snapshots from my phone and some brief notes on my day at the festival. It is a festival made up of little exhibitions dotted around the city and rather hard to find without a map. There were talks and portfolio reviews but as it is coming towards the end of the festival, I have missed them. It is thanks to a bulletin email from Foto8 magazine that I found out about the festival just in time to visit. My starting point was at the QUAD centre, one of the bigger venues. Here I was able to pick up a better map and all the information about each exhibition location.

Caption underneath reads "this camera is currently photographing the gallery space"

So there is just a quick update on the mini adventure I had today. I'm not going to make excuses about why I haven't posted since January. I simply haven't. The space camera-less project didn't go so well however I will still put the work up soon. I have now started two more projects as part of my degree and also have some images from a trip to my hometown Lyon, France and hopefully some snaps from a recent study trip to London.

more photograms. these are experiments for my current project on creating patterns in space. I am still trying to work out which materials create the most interesting patterns.

My tutor suggested that i find a glass paper weight and see what light it lets through. i doesn't let much through, although, it does diffract light creating a less controlled effect.

Another jelly mold. this time i made a very neat swirl pattern with food colouring in jelly and in the dark room is spun it on the photographic paper. this is one of the slower spun ones.

As well as trying different materials i am also trying different papers. this photogram is done on positive photographic paper. the texture underneath is textured paper.

the photography gallery. for our second exhibition we asked for collections of work. as it is only our second exhitition we are still learning how to promote the gallery. our plan was that all of the members on the gallery curator team should bring some work to display incase we didn't get enough from other students. people were very last minute in bringing there work and becasue of this a few of us on the team got to put our work up. so here are some little mobile phone shots of my work up on the wall.

if anyone is reading this blog and is in or visiting falmouth. pop into the photography gallery.

it's one the second floor of the photography centre at tremough campus.

space. first experemental prints for my current project looking at patterns in space and nature. these are photograms of jelly molds in petri dishes with food colouring and oil added in different mixtures to make different affects.

jelly mold with food colouring. this one was put in the freezer,

therefor creating little islands of ice on top on the jelly creating a texture.

oil, just oil. as it was filling the petri dish i caught it before it filled the base.

i tryed holding the dish higher. it looks i'm holding a marble!

this is food colouring in oil.
the colour was green and didn't let much light though so the contrast isn't great.

*for this first time i have tryed to put my name print on my images so that no one can steel them. i don't like doing it becasue it gets in the way of the image but if it saves them then i'll do it.

"it's best to assume that some will see the creative sector as a luxury rather than a necessity right now, so you may have to soldier on and work hard to prove your worth to employers.

the art of getting noticed.
Unpaid work experience really help, wether it be a year- long placement or a few days work-shadowing"

been a long time. This is the work I was due to put up a couple of months ago, sorry readers. These are my final pieces from my nature project. They were produced using a mixture of double exposures and burying negatives. (sorry for the space between them, they were printed with white borders.)
