The Bartender Never Gets Killed

bastard…

June 4th, 2007

And there I was feeling good the rollei was now working, and then I come across a string of double exposures from just after I picked it up, looks like it worked its way out in the later rolls. At least one of my Lee Friedlander pics came out undistrubed. BTW, I quite like the images! Anyone care to send me an artists statement?

Gardens

June 4th, 2007

From a new series on gardens in wasteland..

Out-take

June 1st, 2007

Here is a recent out-take from a shoot for the Oasis project. Whilst the place certainly qualifies, it is showing a space that really jars with the rest of the series

THAT composition again…

May 31st, 2007

Whenever I see this kind of scene I say - ok, shoot it, get it out of your system, and then no more for the day - so shot, scanned, published. Get thee behind me Lee

Dreams/Sueños

May 31st, 2007

If I had to sum up living in Spain, this would be it…

Construction 2

May 29th, 2007

Second in an occasional series… first was here

Surgery update…

March 31st, 2007

The rollei has survived initial open-heart exploratory surgery, but now needs a new heart, I mean shutter. A donor has been found and the transplant is scheduled for early next week. In the meantime, some square pics…

Christmas pics

March 27th, 2007

A bit late I know, but when I was in Logroño (capital of La Rioja, where the wines come from) at Christmas


I used the family digi ps for something other than family snapshots. I’d forgotten totally about these and only came across them when I was doing some digi-spring-cleaning.

.

All a bit too digi-holga for me but hey… (this camera is also in for repair/replacement - what is it with me and equipment!?)

…is to be able to do this stuff so that I can resolve the fine detail detail that makes this kind of image so compelling - although the web is hardly the place to do it justice…

Green Thing revisited

March 22nd, 2007

Green Thing 2… I’m always seeking for ways to cover the material found in my ‘Only a Green Thing’ project in colour. Here’s a couple from two weeks ago

La Montseyn

March 21st, 2007

Spent the weekend here a while back - 3 pics from the backlog whilst the rollei is being sorted

Nod to Ralph…

March 21st, 2007

This pic of Ralphs had me going back to the archives for this…

Riffing on a theme

Olympic Village

March 18th, 2007

Las Ramblas

March 17th, 2007

I normally try and avoid this part of town as it really is a tourist hell-hole. If you enjoy watching tourists each drinking a 2 litre jug of sangria through a straw that locals use for a family of 6, go there. I’m really surprised Martin Parr hasn’t shot the location…

Ciudadela 2

March 16th, 2007

Ciudadela

March 16th, 2007

My parents tell me that as I kid I used to spend ages looking through gaps in fences and chain link lining up ‘patterns’…

Tree…

March 16th, 2007

Tree from the Olympic Village, scraggy and uncared for - NOT what you normally find in Barcelona green spaces, especially not semi-pijo places…

Back online!!!

March 15th, 2007

Oh happy day…

BTW, it isn’t my thing, but if anyone is looking for a project idea… internet cafes

Foliage

March 15th, 2007

Whilst the rollei is in for open heart surgery, I’m going over a backlog. One worrying thing, my repair guy is going out of business as he’s not getting enough analogue work, so he’s now working for canon and he has his workshop up for rent. Good thing he is still servicing old customers at least for now…
