Group Review this week of the project so far. Some students have shot a rehearsal, live gig and promo shots in the studio. Others are yet to do so. This is a brief catch up of where I am in the process of the submission for the year and the BIMM Brief.

This week saw me attend a live gig for a band from BIMM Birmingham, only to catch the last three bars of their set, but I had fun stopping there to photograph the remaining bands that were playing in the Night Owl, Birmingham.

Today saw us have a day of production in advance of the Centrala exhibition in January. I concentrated on the rescale films that I’ve had back recently and spent some time printing in the dark room as well as some scanning in the basement.
