...a plethora of creative nonsense...
Reading Time: 9 minutesPreviously, we discussed some basic ways of catagorising pigments, looking at the organic/inorganic and natural/synthetic definintions and then progresssing a little into qualities in use. I am going to continue this, in a series of four further posts, diving a little deeper in the catagorisations …
Reading Time: 3 minutesOnce again we have had a nice sunny day for the annual Kirkstall Festival, and once again I have to entirely admit that we spent much of the day in the Beer Tent. I’ve noticed something over the last few years and that is that …
Reading Time: 4 minutesIt’s funny, in a way, how artistically and photographically I’ve come in a bit of a circle with the new Fuji Camera. I embraced my DSLR in a massive way about 20 years ago now, taking in all the technical abilities of the digital format. …
Reading Time: 7 minutesI’ve always wanted a full frame fisheye lens, from when I was shooting like crazy with my DLSRs – I had an adapter than (not very effectively) turned the image into a circular (albeit cropped) fish eye, but this has never quite been my thing. …

Reading Time: 4 minutesI think that buying a new camera has reawakened a little bit of photography excitement in me again, as I’ve been feeling quite creative in that area the last few days. For no other reason than it suddenly came to me, I decided to buy …
Reading Time: 7 minutesLooking through this site, and indeed looking myself through my hard drives, it’s noticable how much less photopgraphy I have done over the last few years. For various reasons I have been walking less, I’ve also been painting more, and as I realised in Newcastle …
Reading Time: 13 minutesAs has probably been obvious, I have been acquiring quite a few interesting and exciting pigments over the past couple of years, starting with some earths to compliment the foraged earths that I have been collecting, and then branching out into creating some of my …
Reading Time: 5 minutesFor a Northern industrial town with a history of grime and depravation, Newcastle does have rather a fair share of art galleries. After the slight dissapointment of much of the town centre we ended up in the Laing Gallery which was rather an unexpectedly good …
