The Man Who Shot the 60s
Great documentary on iplayer- about 60s photographer Brian Duffy and his contemporaries Donovan and Bailey. As far as I can tell these guys pretty much paved the way for modern photography and kicked against the staid, formal styles of photography which had come before. Check it here.

25 Worst of everything
An excellent collection of photographs- made me actually lol irl. I love the framing on this image- makes it.
Cable Street.2
Images from last weeks excursion- I think I got a couple of gooduns this time, starting to get a feel for it. I guess I was thinking more about what I was taking photos of, which is a good thing. Just need to get the people involved now.
Jane Maxwell-Hyslop
These photographs were taken by Jane Maxwell-Hyslop. A friend of someone at work: she takes some beautiful photos of stuff I'm well into- i.e. Allotments and Trainspotters. Her 'Personal Logic' project is particularly great- reminds me a lot of my collectors project. I wish I was better at photos sometimes. I wish I could take as beautiful photographs as she does. ahhh well, for now I'm contented enough to look at Jane's work. Lovely.
Allotment Away!
So we (Lizzy and me), started the allotment project this weekend- we just went round some allotments and a local archive- was good- I'm excited about this bad boy- I'm not going to post everything here I don't think. I've made a separate and purely functional blog for it- over here: Allotment Project Blog- I'm hoping to put all and everything that comes to us up there- but I'll probably post the highlights here. Mostly images and bullet thoughts I guess. Allotment Project Blog.
Flickr: pictures and words
I saw this picture while on flickr, and again, was going to rush over it and then I glanced the comment and suddenly was captivated. This is w&p for me, the sense making of two unrelated things which alone mean not much but together contextualise and compliment each other. The pair make for a quite a rich story.
