long exposure

Islington Exhibits 2013

After a nice long break where I stepped back from exhibiting in favour of taking lots of photographs without looking at them, I have won one of two Artists Awards in Islington Exhibits 2013, running from 15th-31st July!

For this exhibition I will be revisiting Chasing Shadows as a large scale, site specific installation.

the night of the first cherry blossom – i have no real idea why…

the shots are all a few seconds, during which the wind shakes the trees. the camera’s handheld, so my movement’s recorded also.

I took these around 2007-2008.  Someone described them as being “so honest they’re like being run over by a lorry”.  I don’t know about that, but recently I’ve been thinking I might like to have another go.

over exposing plants at night

this is what happens when you stand under a streetlamp, set your white balance to auto, and massively over expose the photo

Friday is Art Day on FIPA!

Freedom in a Puritan Age is an online journal that publishes articles on the subject of liberty in contemporary society.  They’re kick-starting their weekly Arts section (which will include T S Eliot prize winning poet, George Szirtes) with, err, me!  Brilliant!
