Quite some time ago I wrote a series of posts regarding an essay I was working on called The River. I actually completed the essay a while ago but apart from showing it a Blackburn Camera Club, I omitted to do anything else with it. I think I just got caught up with getting shows ready and starting new bodies of work.
Anyway, I've finally got round to posting the final AV presentation on YouTube and each of the stills are on my flickr page. There is more to this story but that will come in the very near future.

Messing with a purpose
The last few months have been hard. A bout of illness has left me feeling
uninspired and a tad unproductive. Yes,
I've done a little and I believe I have done it well but trying to find the
motivation to pick up at least one of my cameras has been a challenge. It's a rarity that rolls of film that have
been put in my bag to shoot with haven't left the canisters they came in.
On Monday, I visited my camera club well, I say my camera
club, we were actually visiting Darwen as one of our joint evenings. The guest speaker was Barry Payling. Barry is a well respected photographer who
shies away from digital and continues to shoot with his Hasselblad on Velvia
film. Not only that he shows his slides
(real ones, not digital) on a Hasselblad projector. Barry proved to be a good speaker with some
very nice images. Not everything was to
my taste but there were some that I did enjoy.
The most important thing about Monday night, for me, was seeing my
photography friends again. It has given
me the kick up the backside that I needed.
So, this week, while the weather was nice I actually managed to get out
and shoot some pictures. Nothing too
serious, just messing really but messing with a purpose.
I’m not sure if it’s time to get back working on my essays
again. It might be a little too soon but
as things improves it will come back around.
For now, it was nice to to shoot.
The rest can be seen here.
