Exciting developments ahead

I have been working on some new colour images over the past 6 months and will soon be ready to get them out there.

This is a big departure from my B&W work that has been so important to me over the last 6 years - but I feel that it is a step towards something new for me - and the excitement of something new is a big factor towards keeping things fresh.

I have also rethought the projects that I am working on. 'Two Capitals' has been changed to 'Singular Structures' after suggestions and new ways of looking at the work. I have also added an 'archive' gallery to show my earlier work and older projects.

Which one to choose?

I have long been a big fan of Andrew Wyeth and Tom Thomson - and their images popped into my head when I saw this shot infront of me. Something about the tree half out of shot that makes it interesting and painterly. That will be the limit of my analysis.

So, the question is which shot to keep?

I have been asked a number of times about techniques and blur - there is no real magic to it - and it is not done in Photoshop.

More work

A number of new factors are coming into my most recent work - largely due to my constant experimentation. I am now in two minds about 'Two capitals' - I feel a change coming on.

New work coming together

I am working on a new batch of photos - spending time to edit them down to a select few.

More shell work

More testing done with the same shell - using my Hasselblad 500cm and 664 Polaroid

Testing and experiments

I have been working in my studio for a while - testing some techniques that are new and interesting to me. I am determined to get what I want with what I have got (equipment wise).

More trips planned

I have been experimenting near to home recently - trying out some new techniques. This is mainly because I have been limited to how far I can travel due to situations too boring to explain here. However, I have planned a trip to Oxford to record some of its wonderful architecture. This will hopefully give me enough to work on until I can get to London etc.

Meanwhile the day to day admin tasks and the constant research and marketing is keeping me busy - but what I wouldn't give for a evening at Poppit.
