Total Recall

Something which has interested me recently is photoblogging. Especially those who are able to keep a life long record of their lives or apperance. An individual who really stood out was Jamie Livingston as he documented his life, each day from March 1979 until his death in October 1997. The photos are Polaroids taken once each day or his life. Some show his family, friends and social occasions while others show random details of his environment. To me, the collection is a monument to his life even long after his death.

Another more well known example is Noah Kalina who’s everyday video on YouTube has reached over 10,792,618 views. It’s a fantastic video. Check his website http://www.everyday.noahkalina.com/ for the latest shots.

The time has come. It’s almost time to pack up my belongings and make my way to the capital. Bye Bye Birmingham.

My time in Spain last week was a fantastic opportunity to flex my index finder and get snapping away in a brighter climate. Here’s my selection. One more week of work left before London.

The full script was never edited together as we had to reduce it’s time dramatically to fit a brief. Because of this, it lacks any real build up but it was interesting to make at the very least.

I’m also not a big fan of some of the filters applied to some scenes making shots look very dark, unfortunately I wasn’t involved in the grading process.

Darkroom Archive

The Darkroom Archive is a collection of black and white photos I developed in 2006. It was my first attempt at using the Darkroom after reading a book in my college library and getting my hands on some equipment at my local youth centre.

Many of the photos of dull and grainy but I think it was so important for me to experiment in this way. I also had lots of fun.
