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.

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.
