It’s all coming together. The invites are done (some in the post!), the flyers are ready, posters to be printed next week, just got to get it all out there now. Phew..

I’ve got all the work back from the printers, and it’s looking great. Just got a few issues with the overhead projectors to sort out and we should be good to go.

xmas trees

I’m continuing to experiment shooting through glass. The rain and light on the glass really enhances the feeling of being in the Lake District – the wind, rain and the movement of the trees.

The darker evenings do have some benefits – light becomes scarce but also does some unexpected things.

Isle of Man

dmdadmin — Tue, 02 Aug 2011 16:39:33 +0000

I was lucky enough to spend a couple of weeks working on the Ilse of Man last month. I had some spare time to explore including an evening watching the Southern 100 bike race (pictured), fantastic but a little scary!

I continue to explore the minimum use of colour to create create short atmospheric sequences. The conditions on the top of Snaefell (the highest point on the island), were perfect, take a look at the images I’ve added to the Isle of Man gallery page. You’re supposed to be able to see England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales from here!!

Gokceovacik, Turkey

dmdadmin — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 13:18:23 +0000

I’ve just returned from a two week holiday in Turkey. Gokceovacik is near the town of Gocek on the Aegean coast of Turkey. It’s a beautiful location up in the mountains which thankfully was slightly cooler than the crazy temperatures down on the coast – 35 degrees which is far too hot for me. I spent a fair amount of time thinking about and then photographing the ‘olive pickers house’ which was next door to where we stayed. The colours, location and atmosphere captured my imagination and I hope to print and exhibit a series of photographs at some point in the future.

iphone 4

dmdadmin — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 10:59:22 +0000

I’ve recently traded my blackberry in for an iphone. For a number of reasons this makes sense: I use a mac so everything syncs up easily, I needed a new ipod, the iphone is GPS enabled which is great for some future projects and also it has a 5 MP camera. Of course it’s a lot of money which I can’t really justify at all!

I’ve started experimenting with the camera, here’s an example of an early idea of using it like a toy/plastic camera which I really like,
