Daytime at the Fair. 22nd March.

There's a fair in my city at the moment, people only usually see fairs at night when everything's open and it's bustling with people. The fairground has a completely different atmosphere in the daytime; a few people walk about the grounds chatting together, on a couple of rides there are men checking the mechanics, some girls play together on one of the "£2 for 5minutes" trampolines, and dogs sit next to the caravans gnawing on bones. It's a friendly environment, it feels a bit like a morning at a festival, it's a community of people who travel and live a really unique way of life. 

So today I visited the fairground armed with the Mamyia with a roll of colour 120 film and captured the people and the environment which they call "home". 



Receiving. 12th March.

Almost every house in the UK is connected to an invisible network, through aerials, dishes, cables we all receive information which is now a major influence on how we live our lives.

In other news.. I was going to shot at Emmaus today, but the shoot had to be cancelled, so I won't be shooting there until next week now. I am shooting for my new project, which is a study on England and the English, on Sunday at a horse show. I am quite excited about this. I'm going out with the Mamyia and a few rolls of colour 120, I love Medium Format photography, it brings a whole new dimension of quality into photographs!

Bagpipes. 25th November.

So today I have started forming ideas for a couple of new projects. One projects is where I am going to document the local business, I want to show typical British businesses and people who work in them through this documentary, it is quite open to me and I am just going to watch it unfold. The second project is a landscape piece where I am going to show how human constructions, such as pylons and wind turbines, are having to come acceptable as part of the landscape. Here's a piece of test work from this project:
