...a plethora of creative nonsense...
Reading Time: 2 minutes We went into town the other day, for something to do, to have a look at the Leeds Museum, which opened (in its current form aabout a year ago, and I have never, so far, been). I didn’t really take many pictures in the museum …
Reading Time: 2 minutes I’ve taken the Lensbaby with the Plastic Optic, and a new star filter out for an evening walk the other day. Talking to both the world through plastic idea and the Backstreets and Rooftops project this has created some intresting and slightly tripped out images.
Reading Time: 3 minutes And again, I have got to go play round London. My love of food lead me again to Borough Market, as is typical, and I decided to walk further along the river this time. I’ve focussed a lot on looking up at the rooftops in …
Reading Time: 2 minutes I have been reading somewhere (of course, in a few days I have lost the source) a little about Bonsai Portraiture – obviously something very much of a simple Japanese aesthetic. I don’t have any bonsai trees, but I thought I would grab a few …
Reading Time: 2 minutes So the people in the Royal Park School have been evicted, but are currently going through extensive fundraising to attempt to buy the building for cummunity use. Miranda Aria has organised this gig at the Brudenell Social to raise some funds for this, and alongside …
Reading Time: 4 minutes For this final (for now) installment of Backstreets and Rooftops, I took myself deeper into the University Campus. I’ve been very inspired by this project, and hope to gather the absolute best of these (as I know I have posted many shots over these four …
Reading Time: 2 minutes Playing some more with the rootop idea, I have gone down into the LS2 and Little Woodhouse area this time – somewhere I have not really explored in so much detail. Theres more of the redbrick here.
Reading Time: 2 minutes I’ve been out again with a further installment of the project to explore the backstreets and rooftops of Hyde Park – taking loose angled shots to explore the way we would see some of these places through the corner of our eyes, but would not …
Reading Time: 2 minutes I got out and a bout today to actually have a good outside test of the Plastic optic for my Lensbaby Composer, took it down to Woodhouse Moor to see what I could see. The weather is still vile, though as you can see a …
Reading Time: 2 minutes On of the joys of living in a built up inner city area is the wildlife. I mean who could not adore the crows and seagulls squawking and bickering all the time. As you may guess I am being a little sarcastic here, but they …
Reading Time: 2 minutes Walking around Hyde Park, I have come up with an idea I want to play with. I have always been quite taken with the local roofscapes – in a heavily built up inner-city area like this there is such a jumble of walls and roofs, …
Reading Time: 4 minutes What could be a better antidote to the winter blues than this. An evening of Burlesque at the Brudenell Social. Photographers welcome.
I actually really enjoyed this. Of course, who (if you are into girls that is) would not like a bit of sexy performance. But it was a privilage to be able to take photos as well, as this is a new thing to try.
