The lat Tuesday before Christmas and with some colour printing complete I stood and had an informal chat with Niki that was very enlightening.
What about a nice little bit of Typography on a Friday afternoon then? Lovely stuff. Some of this really appeals to my super picky and pedantic nature..
Research is an important part of my degree course and it’s not something that comes easy to me. See how I get on looking into the work of Alma Haser.
This week is a review week of Semester One and all the work we’ve created up until this point. What do I need to improve upon, what can I do next to try different things? See what Alice and I talked about.
Night & Day in Tokyo and other cities around the world. My work led me to look at work by Liam Wong and Masataka Nakano who are both extraordinary photographers.
For this semester an Exhibition Review is required, here is my review of the excellent Chris Killip Retrospective in The Photographers Gallery London.
Time to do some more printing ready for some chopping up and a tutorial chat about why I love breaking things open…
Photograms and Alternative Prints? What could possibly go wrong in my journey to take on two of Alice’s small challenges in the name of exploring Materiality.
Seminar today was about Materiality, Purists, Pictorialists and a bit about Academic Integrity and Referencing. Some questions and a couple of challenges to complete.
As part of my Full Year Project we sat around and chatted about each other’s work in a tutorial session. Here is my first group of test prints that I chopped up and reassembled. Why did I do this?
Time for a chat about ideas for my full year project, and also a little bit of getting back into the swing of Colour Enlarging and printing.
A trip to London’s THe Photographer’s Gallery in October for the Chris Killip Retrospective Exhibition. Should you go?

When you’ve been a good boy at work, sometimes people give you an award! I used mine on a Holga Pinhole camera, see the results of my early usage here..
On the 8th September 2022, Queen Elizabeth II died. I rushed down to London to witness the rush of people to the capital. This is the story of my road trip.
Heat wave in August 2022, what can you do on a really sunny day? Cut the grass, sit and have a beer on the decking, fill the paddling pool, go on hols or try a Cyanotype in the bright sunshine?
A trip down South to see an exhibition of Vivian Maier’s works. The first time her work has been exhibited in the UK. It was great and I’d recommend anyone to go and take a look.
After finalising my selections for Colour and Black and White, it was time to choose the final images for the Digital Photography submission.
