Off to the Foto8 Summer show lauch
08/07/11 11:00
I’m off this afternoon to the Foto8 Summer show launch at the Host Gallery in London to see my chosen photo hung as part of the exhibition. Really chuffed to have been accepted into the exhibition, some of the work is truly brilliant except mine which is a bit rubbish but as long as it provokes a reaction all the good.
LOROS Garden wins Silver at Hampton Court
08/07/11 10:55
I’ve been working since about February on a charity project the LOROS Garden of Light & Reflection www.lorosgarden.org.uk shooting the photography, making short videos, designing & maintaining the web site, designing print, adverts, flyers, posters, leaflets and all the things which go with supporting these types of events.
The premiss was to design a garden to go into the LOROS Leic & Rutland Hospice which would first be shown at the Hampton Court Flower Show in July 2011. After all the hard work the garden has been awarded a Silver Medal by the RHS and everyone agrees it is a great success. I’m just happy to have played my very small part and hats off to the team for all their hard work getting this worthwhile project from concept to reality.

Selected for Foto8 Summer Show 2011

In these tricky times for me here comes a great bit of news. I’ve been selected for the prestigious Foto8 Summer Show at the HOST Gallery in London. Really excited especially as last year there were more than 2000 entries for just over 100 places.
Of the three images submitted the one selected is the most unpleasant and I’m not going to blow the subject here but come along to the show and I’m sure I shall be truly humbled by the opposition.

Added new section

Added new ‘This Week…’ section to site at here in an attempt to show what’s been going on recently, it won’t get updated every week for the simple reason I’m a human with lots of things to do and am not obsessive about these things.
Site testing
20/01/11 23:01
Having taken far longer than anticipated I’ve got to the testing stage, lots of bits not looking quite there yet but things have to move on. The main thing is that the framework is there on which to hang the rest of the stuff. Have decided to go with MobileMe for the galleries rather than hosting on the main site. There are lots of advantages such as the instant publishing direct from Aperture which is brilliant and a real time saver. Galleries can be made password protected for client off-line use and changes made at the click of an upload.
Where I do fail is on the front of editing down to the bare essentials. I work on the basis that there might be something in there for everyone. I get a little fed up with the hectoring, bossy ladies writing in the BJP about how things must work just for them. Like some, hate some. It’s all a matter of taste and viewer perception.
