Public Assembly

There is always something interesting about looking at other people, especially when they are unaware and absorbed in their own thoughts. I'm not sure why it should be other than it s a representation of ourselves I think we have all thought of ourselves like this thinking these thoughts or something similar. These are a really good example of  group shots by Mike Sinclair you'll find them at the Time Lightbox http://lightbox.time.com/2012/06/21/public-assembly-the-photographs-of-mike-sinclair/#4 which is a pretty good site to look at for all kinds of photography.

Michael lammler

I saw these images by Michael Lammler on Conscientious you should check them out at http://michaellaemmler.com/ Also have a look at the other work; yes it looks a bit odd but I think it's really fascinating, funny, bizarre but worthwhile and really interesting.

Work by Jessica Eaton

My daugter sent me this link to another blog which has some really interesting work on it not least this really lovely work by Jessica Eaton. You can read it on the blog but it seems the work is made by multiple exposure using coloured gels. The resuts are really wonderful. Blog address is

Latest Subjects

These are some of my latest offerings from my paper negatives. It's always difficult to know where I'm going with this; Iv'e been doing them for so long that I'm beginning to wonder if they are going anywhere. However my latest thoughts revolve around the idea of just looking not commenting. I think of the people I photograph as subjects . I want to see is them, unadorned not ready to be photographed, unconscious of themselves as pictures.

Sarah Sze

We went to London yesterday not for anything in particular other than the trip. However we take the opportunity to go to Victoria Miro and see the Grayson Perry  tapestries from his recent T.V programme on taste and just as importantly Sarah Sze which was terrific. 

This short film is of one of the pieces of work from upstairs in the gallery.

I came across this really interesting photographer called Paola de Grenet on Conscientious. There are a fair number of different kinds of images on the site but I just picked these two as good examples. You acn find the work at http://paoladegrenet.com/

New Mobile images

 I looked over some mobile images that I had taken fairly recently on a trip to Norfolk. What surprised me was how they had this connection or rather a connection. Perhaps it's just me but I have a tendency to think of each image at the time and not to connect them, but reflecting on what I had taken made me see this fascination with the internal spaces of images. How the composition is divided, and an interest in things that are within a room and things that are outside.

In the case of the window images taken in Newark it was the ability to be able to see behind and in front at the same time. The Sainsbury gallery images are about how  a flat composition can still show the real space that exists; equally as interesting is the way that the internal space that they are walking into doesn't really exist as far as the image goes
