Place

Well its been a little bit of a while since Ive posted here. Not quite sure if anyone still looks at these, but anyway - it'll serve as an 'aid d memoir.' Since my last postings Ive completed another project and NTU - Place.

For this I looked at the ironic juxtaposition of the presupposed and realised reality in relation to place name. Examples being such as 'Temple' above, semiotics lying within the discarded liquor bottle and the references to escapism within the telephone box.

I used a mix of large and medium format for this project, which in itself was quite an experiance. First time on the 5x4" view camera with the increased difficulty of slide film It was a relief to get a few nice exposures. The stress at times did soon pay off with the beauty in the colour and detail with the transparencies, although I may take a little breather and go back to medium format for the time-being.

Onto new horizons, Im home for Easter whilst brainstorming for a new project. At the moment Im thinking of something along the lines of Gregory Credson or Cindy Sherman and the constructed film stills. However much thought is needed. Watch this space...
