...a plethora of creative nonsense...
All posts on the subject of my photographic practice.
Reading Time: 3 minutesWe took a walk over the top of Ilkley Moor the other day. I’ve been a few times up to the Cow and Calf, but never really explored much of the rest of the moor. I was researching celtic stoneworks and ended up with various …
Reading Time: 3 minutesWhile visiting for my graduation, my mother has been staying up at a campsite in Threshfield, and we went up to visit here there. I took quite a few pictures, and for some of these played about with some editing ideas, something I haven’t really …
Reading Time: < 1 minuteIt is a horrible, wet day. It is supposed to be July, and I have a new camera and it is chucking it down. Of course the rain and the urban grit can make some great visual statements, but for now, these will be through …
Reading Time: 2 minutesHaving a new camera, and a big event to play at is perhaps both good and bad. Kirkstall Festival with its very varied mix of sights was a great chance to play, with the Tamron lens, to get in close to the falconry (and the …
Reading Time: 2 minutesI’ve been toying with this idea for a while (and have already had a couple of people saying, “about bloody time”). I’ve got the bug here, I’m really enjoying learning properly about photography. So I have bought myself a Canon EOS 1000D with an 18-55mm …
Reading Time: 4 minutesFor this month’s London extravaganxa I decided to go out a bit further afield and take a trek out to Greenwich and the Docklands. A long time ago I went on a scout trip staying on the Lord Amory and remember a night walk including …
Reading Time: 4 minutesSo this is starting to bring together the ideas I have for my Dissertation, and the reason I bought this little camera last year. In the course of my life in Hyde park, I have been acting the role of ‘researcher participat[ing]’, as Herbert Gans …
Reading Time: 3 minutesBack in London again. Meeting again on St Mary Axe I wandered past the Lloyds Building and Leadenhall Market. I was struck by this mkeshift protest memorial to Ian Tomlinson, the newpaper seller murdered (and I will state my opinion here) by the police recently. …
Reading Time: 2 minutesBack in London again. I recall when I was very young and even more obsessed with the Underground that I am now, making my poor father take me on every line – possibly harder now with more gates and barriers – during the course of …
Reading Time: 2 minutesI guess if there’s any theme to this it’s more of the idea of looking up at the sky, but really it’s just posting a few good images. I shot the cranes over town the other morning. I loved the way they fade into the …
Reading Time: 3 minutesThis is very exciting. I have been asked to serve on a development user group for some software that we use at work, which is meaning some trips to London over the next year. And very kindly the company has agreed to book my return …
