Little Wins #5

Artist Reference – In order to help my students I often advise them to look at a variety of artists that may inspire them.  Therefore, it’s so nice when I find myself being referenced as an artist.  This is the second time now that people have sought me out on Instagram to ask for details about my work with regards to referencing it. The first time was Bromsgrove School and today I had yet another request from someone studying ‘A’ Level Photography not from my college. Some of my best contacts have come via Instagram so I’ll continue to work on my presence there.

Little Wins #3

Gallery Interest As it’s a very busy time of year at work, I haven’t had a great deal of time to think about galleries.  However on Saturday I wandered into a new contemporary gallery in Dartmouth.  I had seen a large piece in the window which comprised stripes of colour.  The piece was similar to a series of ‘Touch Designer’ works that I had completed earlier this year, but as the viewer moved past the colours on this piece changed.  I was intrigued and wanted to learn more about the artwork and the artist who created it. I discovered that the artist was Lawrie Hutcheon who just like me enjoyed creating computer generated art.  I began to chat to the lady in the gallery.  I explained about my love of computer art and what I had done.  She said she was interested to see it.  As I was scrolling through my phone, she caught sight of some of my black and white weekly Zentangle work and asked if I had made any images into cards?  I explained that I hadn’t, and she said that her husband (the gallery owner) might like to talk to me further about pieces to go into the […]

Torbay Airshow 2023

Cockpit Shots – The beginning of June in Torbay has now become synonymous with the fantastic Torbay Airshow! As usual this year did not disappoint!  Roughly 3 years ago I treated myself to a Sigma 150mm-600mm telephoto lens.  I had partly purchased it so that I could shoot wildlife, but I was also excited to try it out at the Airshow. Last year I was really lucky, I managed to get a number of really photographically sharp ‘cockpit’ shots.  One of them even made the Fotospeed top 4 for the week, which I was  really pleased about.  The fist image (Jet Pitts Sabio image) listed directly below is the one that made the Fotospeed top 4 for the week.     Images from 2023 Below is a gallery of some of my favourite images from this year.  I’ve also added a ‘jazzy’ video which proved useful for social media.     Short Snappy Video for Social Media Below is a short video that I compiled for social media.

MACBA

The Museum of Contemporary Art Barcelona – The MACBA was a short 35 minute walk away from the Hotel Barcelona.  Below is a short video of the route showing some of the surroundings.   En Route to the MACBA     Beautiful Light at the MACBA Before launching into a gallery of artworks at the MSCBA, I want to highlight both the beautiful architecture and light of the building.  I was completely ‘taken’ with the stunning light that streamed through the huge windows of the building.  Indeed I felt that the atmosphere created by the large windows, together with the clinically white interior, architectural angles and vaulted ceilings, warranted a mini photographic project all of its own.  Therefore I decided to take some time out to shoot some of the beautifully lit interiors that were flooded with natural light.  Below is a photo gallery of a photographic study of the light at the MACBA   Self Publishing a Small Book of Beautiful Light at the MACBA On realising that I had produced so many interior images of the MACBA, I decided to try out a few page layouts.  I felt that the images worked well together, so I decided to […]

Little Wins #2

A Design for Life – Every so often something comes along regarding my work to make me smile.  For example I might get a little mention or someone might ask to use my work somewhere, or I may even get referenced in someone else’s work.  I began to note some of these instances (which I call) ‘Little Wins’.  One of my first little wins was a mention by Bromsgrove School, they had taken inspiration from some of my Instagram bubble images used my ideas in class.  However today, I’m now pleased to mention another.  A couple of weeks ago a load  acquaintance contacted me with some exciting news! For 3 years running I was the official photographer for the May Bank Holiday Pirates’ Festival, held in Brixham each year, right up until sadly it was cancelled in 2020 due to Covid.  Below are links to some of my highlights from each year.   The Brixham Pirates’ Festival 2017 The Brixham Pirates’ Festival 2018 The Brixham Pirates’ Festival 2019 NB: if the 2019 link does not work you can see a mash up of all of the images in a video short that I made this week.   2019 Link not […]
