Print offer

This weeks print offer is…

As with the other prints, in return for a donation of 25euros plus 8 euros shipping, I’ll send you this print. 4 x 12 inches .

And just for fun…


Eye

Picked up a digi compact yesterday, a canon 640. I’m using it with a firmware hack that gives RAW support, a live histo and a couple of other goodies. Shooting is a bit unerving as everything looks clipped, but the RAW in Lightroom looks great - although the move to jpeg soon messes everything [...]

Tim Atherton…

…has a new edition available for his ‘Looking Glass Editions‘. The guy has an expensive 8×10 habit to fuel, so support him!

some people…

…only dream about it, whereas other people do it. What a great project!

Print offer

I’ve decided to add another print in return for donations. As I said in an earlier post, I’m not allowed to sell things from a blog at wordpress, but in return for a donation of 25euros plu 8 euros shipping, I’d send you this print from the archives. One of my favourites.

Image is 6×6 inches [...]

Strategies

This is probably going to be a very rambling post, so be warned!
Probably the most important thing an artist has to decide is the strategy s/he adopts to carry out the aim of the artwork. It is fundamental, because if the strategy is flawed, then no matter how perfectly conceived and executed the image, the [...]

Lesseps

I’ve been playing around on building sites again…

Update…

I’ve had a number of emails from other photographers asking how the print offers were going.  Whilst I’m not in any danger of selling out the edition, the response has been much greater than I expected. I’ve shipped two batches, and at times the surfaces of my work room were covered with prints drying - [...]

Looking-Glass Editions

Tim Atherton has decided to sell small editioned prints. Looking-Glass Editions

These are shot on 8×10. I’m lucky enough to have a couple of prints from this series in my living room, and they are great. Buy now!!
Tim is also much cleverer than me as he has found a way to make the Paypal button [...]

Print offer

As I outlined in my previous post I have decided to ask for donations in order to continue my artwork. Note that the terms and conditions of my blog here at WordPress don’t allow me to sell things from the blog, and I am not in anyway offering anything for sale. However, in return for [...]

Jen Bekman mk2

Since posting a slightly critical post concerning 20×200, I’ve now decided I’ve changed my mind. Having received a very full email from Jen B and reading this post I think the idea is good alround.
Between 2000 and 2003, I spent thousands of euros on photography. Equipment, film, paper and marketing - marketing took a [...]

Ugly

One of the reasons I started shooting my Oasis series was that I found the spaces often genuinely beautiful. But sometimes, they are just plain ugly…

Flowers (again)

As most people know, I’m a sucker for flowers in the urban environment. I’d love to do a series on ‘Plastic Flowers’ too, but Bee beat me to it .
Anyway, 2 new ones

From a new series…

Architecture

If you have to work for a living, I guess a really great way would be shooting architecture, of course, only interesting stuff and in a way you like…

Older work

It is a source of immense frustration that I seem to get at least as much interest in old work as new stuff. On my old site, this was all hidden and only accessable if linked to from outside - on the new site, it simply isn’t there. However, my agency sent me a book [...]

Oasis

A couple in the ‘pending’ tray for the Oasis project…

Mini-series

Been shooting in a new area this week. Whilst I’m not too happy with what I was working on, some incidental pics I took seem to have developed into a mini series on outdoor sports facilities…

bastard…

And there I was feeling good the rollei was now working, and then I come across a string of double exposures from just after I picked it up, looks like it worked its way out in the later rolls. At least one of my Lee Friedlander pics came out undistrubed. BTW, I quite like the [...]

Gardens

From a new series on gardens in wasteland..

Out-take

Here is a recent out-take from a shoot for the Oasis project. Whilst the place certainly qualifies, it is showing a space that really jars with the rest of the series
