So here we are into the new year and there have been lots of ups and downs.
A little while ago I ran my first photographic exhibition which was an interesting experience. It was at S.P.A.C.E in Ellesmere over the 2010 Winter festival. I had around 30 prints and 4 canvases on display covering a range of things that have interested me, local landscapes, a few buildings and some derelict images.
I was happy that the landscapes did not provoke a big response as this is a direction that I feel I have done everything I need to do with it. The derelict images on the other hand got a very good response. There was a good deal of feedback that these were interesting and much more intriguing, this is great as it’s a subject that I feel I want to do more of.
This year I have set myself the challenge of using off camera flash (going strobist) as it’s something I really want to have a play with but have just never got around to yet. My other challenge is regarding the Welshampton Bonfire. As it has been generally agreed that this will be the last year it seems a good time to put together a book chronicling the event over the past 10 years. Will be spending quite a bit of time doing that this year I’m sure but I will also be calling on the fine writing skills of Janet Jones to assist me with any long words (well actuall to help with all the words)!
