Imaging journal

While studying for my MA, I really realized that having a place to journal about my work was very important. It helps me reflect on my past work and to be honest not to forget about what I did.

This is where I write about all things to do with projects I am working on. So mostly photography (stills), motion and motion graphics.

Stephen shore the selected works 1973-1981

Photo books are mixed, some you read and others, the really good ones, you are in the presence of, you experience. This book is a really good one.

The book is big, but the images are well framed floating in a sea of white. Each one is engrossing and the curator’s comments nicely frame the selection of images. If you are a fan of Shore you will already want or own this book. If you are curious about Shore’s work this book offers a good intro and some unique perspectives on his work. For me I enjoyed every minute I spent with the book.

Street Photography - 19/12

December 20, 2019

It has been a long time since I picked up a camera, as my time is occupied with other things. However, it is nice to fall back into things you miss.

Photographs are fragments plucked from time, their context left up to the viewer. It is strange to see these images floating on a backlit screen frozen in time. That is the power and draw of photography I guess, a strange craft invented in 1839.
