glass

i'm not happy with the end results...i'm going to have to try harder with the light set up 

i've looked HERE and hopefully Dave will find the tent ready for next week..

i really love this image below and would like to create something similar with my birds and perhaps something in full colour and on white with my clowns

clowning around

i might do one of my projects using some of my glass clowns

ok so this isn't my usual style but......

so this new look blogger thingy is a bit tricky..seeing as i just managed to get used to it..
anyway saw this and thought of Teach


it's a dogs life

this short film is amazing The Shooting Gallery channel4 the photographers are inspirational.
i particularly like The neglected by David Gillanders although it's harrowing..it's documentary photography at its best (in my humble opinion).. and calls into question the passive role played by the image maker..
i.e. how can he stand around watching these children harm themselves? what kind of impact did it have on him personally? the opposing view is that without the photographer being present we would never have known..  so the children are brought to the attention of a wider audience..but has that stimulated a change? there are all dead now but what impact has this documentary had for children of the next generation?
questions questions


oh i also read this too about photo books i'm thinking of a book (or even two) for both projects the ones i've seen so far are great.

project2

me an mo (mum) went to cornwall to stay with my aunt. they both knew i wanted to take photos but it wasn't until day two that i started to think that this could become my second project.

i did take some landscape/seascape shots which are "pretty" and "nice" and easy on the eye..

but then i also took plenty of images of the sisters and my aunts house 

i think i'll make a small book 

of course if i went back today - having reviewed all the images together, i would probably take a lot more.

oh and the weather was fabulous
