In the last post, we read about how we picked up the motorhome from Indie Campers in Fremont, California, and travelled through Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon, and Lake Mead, ending up at Monument Valley.

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.
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.
Time for the conversation between photographers Richard Billingham and Tom Hicks, to discover more about the Black Country and its identity.
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.
This week was a bit of printing in the dark room, a presentation of the midway review and a trip to the art gallery.
After the lecturer doesn’t show it’s time to jump in the car and go and continue the project by visiting West Brom, one of the undisputable parts of the Black Country.
An opportunity to go for a walk around the Wolves city centre with Instagram legend, Black Country Type. Who wouldn’t take up the opportunity?
