In this final post about the Japan trip in January 2024 I wrap up my thoughts and feelings about the adventure. What I liked about the place, people and other subjects and what I didn’t.
This post is about how I chose to display the images in the upcoming exhibition and the lengths I’ve been to in order to pull it off.
This week consists of two days. the first was a Tutorial and a chat about the exhibition which is due to open in mid-April. Have a look at the reasons why I’ve selected some photos and not others along with the overall theme developing of the show.
This week sees the whole uni still without computers so it was into the old school colour darkrooms with some negatives. That joined with a tutorial on the Practice module too as prep for the exhibition in April.
Not a usual week at Uni this week, seems like there was a problem with the IT systems. Wonder what it could be?
Nearly time to go home, one more day to pack in lots of museums and photography, does it work out as planned? You bet it doesn’t.
Time for the third shoot within the factory, and this time it’s after shutdown, when everyone has left for the Christmas break. I find out that I have the factory in my DNA.
A task on post modernism and also a chance to print some images in the darkroom, after developing a 35 mm film first.
Busy day today with two shrines to visit and a couple of high rise viewing platforms. It was a proper touristy day.
Today was going to be the pre-booked trips to teamLab Planets and Tokyo Skytree, plus whatever else I could fit into it.
today was a trip to Hiroshima on the famous Bullet Train. It was a moving experience, both the train and the city of the first atomic bombing.
Day two and it was a packed day in my planning phase, slightly undone by jet lag. I still did a lot with the time I had though.
Week 3 and it’s time to scan or print from the negs I made in Japan, followed by a tutorial with Sylvia about the formative feedback for the Artist Library task.
This week we were off to London to visit the Photographers’ Gallery for the Daido Moriyama Retrospective and the V&A Photography Centre for a walk around the Energy: Sparks from the Collection.
For my second shoot in the factory I waited for night to fall and then went a wandering with my headlamp and Leica Q2. What did I capture?
The first shoot has been completed and in this post I document my plan and the outcomes. Are any of these images your cup of tea?
Time to hand in the Artist Library assignment, an essay of 1000 words. I chose to write about Frank Miller’s 1986 classic graphic novel, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns. Why did I choose this book? Read on…
For Week 11 we have to prepare and present a five minute presentation on Space being represented in one of our own photos and another in a contemporary photographer’s work. Have a read what I picked and why…
This week we talk about space and how other artists, photographers make use of it in their work. We discuss how it is used, why it works or doesn’t and I find another photographer in Kander who I really enjoy the work of.
