A day out in early January to drive a Batmobile, visit Bisley Shooting centre and also Brunell Brutalist University.
The Exhibition is here, The Matter Of The Black Country, at Centrala. We still had to pick up the work, install it and prepare for the opening. This is a brief catch up on the evening of the opening and the work that leads up to it.
Day Two of the Matt Stuart Street Photography Workshop in London. Where we wander around the East End and then head over to the Barbican for a lovely fun feedback session.
This week sees a scramble to get my freshly developed negatives of Dudley Zoo scanned in and then printed out in the darkroom. A session with Jim in the Print hub and a review of the project in the form of a presentation to the rest of the group.
With an assignment to submit, talk of the exhibition and steps left to complete before the set up. Then a quick chat with Euripides about non-standard film processing techniques.
