Wanderings Part 2
. I can offer no attempt at context here beyond a freezing cold snowy walk and a moment which appealed to me on an aesthetic level and seemed to capture the atmosphere of that day and that place. For once the image which I saw on the focus screen actually translated how I hoped...
Wanderings Part 1
Just a few shots taken on the most freezing cold day of the year, at the seafront at Salt Dean. I love this bit of coast because it is so bleak and peaceful and the light is usually pretty beautiful.
Chris Floyd
http://chrisfloyduk.wordpress.com/ This month’s Brighton MiniClicks speaker Chris Floyd had to get a mention here for a really interesting talk and some great work.

Contemplations…
So I was a bit tentative about posting there shots because to be honest I haven’t decided what I make of them my-self, but there we go. Shot these over xmas in relation to the illusion of liberty series I did in my second year, and to some extent the ideas are similar to some...
Goodbye Christmas..
Brighton currently has a little xmas tree graveyard on the Level, which I was quite keen to photograph, so I went down there early the other morning. Overall it was not a success, due in part to lack of useful viewpoint, lack of light, my camera deciding to malfunction, and no doubt a lack of...

Photocopy Club Exhibition

Here and There
Since I seem to have spent the last few months posting about, looking at and hearing about other people’s work I thought I better post a few bits of my own. As such these are a few shots off some films that have been lying about for a few months, mostly shot for no adequately explained...
