I posted about John before, but I’ve just had an email from John telling me about an upcoming book launch and exhibit…
The book can be bought from the address above or direct from John

Keith Johnson
April 21, 2007 – 7:14 pm
I’m a long-time fan of Keith’s work, and I’ve just heard he has his first commercial gallery exhibit in NY at the Nelson Hancock Gallery.
Seeing people like Keith get exhibits always cheers me up. If you are in NY May 10 to June 9 pop by.
Meanwhile…

Went to pick the rollei up yesterday, but I wasn’t happy with the alignement between the viewing and taking lens - seemed to be out by a coupla millimeters, so… next week…
But I thought I could take the opportunity to put to rest some of the ‘pingpong’ slurs I’ve had since I posted the [...]

There ’s not a spanish version of this available due to copyright claims, but roll over maradona…

… comes back tomorrow! Just in time. Clear blue skies, 22-25degrees. The sun is hitting the streets for long periods and not being blanked by buildings. And I have the day free to work. Having said all that I really don’t want to work on a project - just to take pics, to spend time [...]

Just had an email from Patrick pointing me to his latest project. A book and tour are planned for next year.

5 things…

Gary Alexander has tagged me with the 5 things ‘thing’…
1. I buggered up my A levels because instead of revising I’d disappear out of my bedroom window and go and play in a band. There were girls, alcohol, marijuana, I was young…
2. I was expelled from school when I was 12. I bought dinner tickets [...]
Gallery
April 10, 2007 – 1:09 pm
In a number of blogs and lists at the moment there are discussions about finding a gallery - notably here .
One of the pieces of advice that struck home recently was to avoid start-up galleries. Having suffered a fairly negative experience with a startup I passionately agree with this! Another good piece of advice [...]
I’m in heaven…

I can’t believe how badly-informed I am sometimes but… Just found out that in three days there will be the largest retro of Lee Firiedlander’s work ever seen in Europe, based on the last MoMA show. Can’t wait. And for those in the US - something rare and wonderful… the show is free…
David Farrell
April 4, 2007 – 5:33 pm
Whilst researching for a new project (working title ‘An Ideal Transition’? - probably more about this later) I came across a project by Irish photographer David Farrell called Innocent Landscapes. He, and the project, is proving difficult to track down on the web, so I can’t provide very big pics. So, making the best of [...]
Ourground.net
April 3, 2007 – 5:05 pm
In my Oasis project, like many photographers, I’m concerned with the empty spaces, often treated as ‘common ground’, that exist either side of urban development. These places are at best transitory and documenting them is working with an endangered species. British photographer John Davies has been working with OurGround to document these places as they [...]
John Darwell
April 2, 2007 – 4:18 pm
Having talked about Patrick Shanahan in a previous post I’ve been re-looking at English photographers that capture something uniquely ‘English’. John Darwell’s work touches me very deeply - I feel as if I am coming from a similar tradition in a way.
I worked and studied for many years in the North of England - in [...]
