...a plethora of creative nonsense...
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 minuteJust a very quick post. After all the research, taking pictures of Hyde Park and so on, I have graduated with a First Class Degree. Here’s the obligatory “wizard” picture with my gown…
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: 2 minutesWe’ve tried a new festival experience here, the oddly named Bearded Theory in Derbyshire. This was, in many ways, a very interesting experience! We took ther train down, while some friends carried the bulk of our kit, and (accidentally, honest) due to the discovery of …
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 …
