Came across this lady….Suzanne Mooney via 1000 words photography magazine.
A humorous and quizzical look into the world of the photography diagram! There are contexts here I’m sure, I’ll just enjoy the humor for now!
two more images for consideration….
New computer, new scanner, old work…..very dirty scans…apologies!
Portraits produced for a final piece, but never used…

This is the start of a study into nightclubs. How the world inside and the excessive consumption of alcohol generates a complete separation from the outside world. The moments that you won’t remember and the ones that don’t matter.
In a broadening of my ideas and explorations into identities and how we are recognised and recorded, i have begun to look at concepts of observation and tracking. Here are some experimentations.
This christmas my parents, with some aid from my credit card, purchased for me, a swanky film scanner. Whilst setting up said scanner, I proceeded to blow up two computers within the space of 15 minutes…Needless to say not the most joyous way to spend a hungover new years day!
The scanner still has not been used…Not once!
As a non driver i very often rely on others to transport me from a to b. When being driven, by family or friend or public transport, I have endless time to reflect and observe. On the surface road and railway sidings are dull empty and lifeless, to use an over coined term, ‘non-places’. But this void of interest brings to attention the many artifacts, and treasures that appear for my viewing pleasure. A block of wood becomes halfway point on the journey home, a plastic bag transforms into evidence of a time past or some police tape hints at current events or tragedies.
These images were scanned courtesy of a friend. All images Bronica SQ-A, 80mm f2.8. Reala 100 and Kodax Portra 400NC.

A recent project attempting to delve into the realms of personal identity…The initial starting idea was to focus on methods of identification used when a person or persons is no longer present. The trace of a person. It has since developed further into the realms of observation and the particularly “1984″ thought of everything we do and everything we are being noted and recorded by the government.
Unfortunately with everything image that i have used to explore the subject i merely ponder around the tip of the iceberg and my brain has forbidden me to expand creatively and conceptually further. I don’t know what it is i want to produce!!
Awfully frustrating I’m sure you would agree.

Hendrik Kerstens work has been awarded 2nd place in the latest installment of the National Portrait Prize (previously the schweppes Portrait prize but now sponsored by Taylor Wessing). His work in focused exclusively on portraits of his daughter, each drawing strongly from the work of recognized dutch renaissance painters. Certain images such as ‘Bag’ have been noted for their “significance to current political issues”, but I’m sure this more an over thinking of some highly thought out, light hearted fun.
‘Lampshade’
From speaking to acquaintances, it seems that his form and style are not admired by all, but for me its diamond!
A recent artist I have been admiring…His book/s are both beautiful and intriguing
