Still alive!

Its been about a year since I used/updated/posted this blog. My blogging absence was caused by the birth of my little boy. I aim to get back into the spirit of blogging again.

Recent Nice...

The reason I reefer to my recent stream of images as Nice is due to a very inspirational project I stumbled across. 'The Daily Nice!'

http://www.thedailynice.com/site.html

Where Photo Taker Jason Evans, each day shows a photograph of something that made him happy. This site is now my home page.

Please also read this interview:

I can relate an awful lot to many of the things discussed in this piece of writing where one photographer interviews another.

where to start continued.......

now for some more structured imagery of actual things...

finally the title of my new project in the making...

THE CONSEQUENCES OF BRITISH OUTDOOR FOOD CONSUMPTION

enough said!

also, Sometimes people leave things in Hotels, therefore......

A collaborative project is due to start this month based on hotel work related things, Kirsty Gash and I, both being Hotel workers are fascinated by lost property.

Building and archive of things left behind by the human will in future tell a tale of what life was like today, for example types of fashion and literature.

Findings within the Lost Property, chargers and electrical box. This provides the viewer with the realisation of how much we rely on electrical products such as toothbrushes, laptop computers, shavers, mp3 players and Mobile Phones.

It fits very nicely to have used something that requires one of these chargers to make the photographs. i also like the notion of using a what is now known as an everyday object to document what are now known as everyday objects, rather than a professional camera!

ok where to start......

Well i have been a busy boy of recent times.

first, i guess some more mobile phone sightings, then i'll introduce you to things of grater photographic happenings that have taken place.
