Breaking the Century

Just realised that this is my 100th post on this blog, ironically it also marks the hosting of my first proper website.

Hope you like what you see, it contains all the main projects I have worked on this year, the Light the last flare which consisted of a book and an exhibition. My university Final Major and my cycle/photographic journey along the Antrim Coast on the edge of Northern Ireland.

Enjoy

Third View

The only way to really grasp what this project is about is to visit the website, which to be honest doesn't totally do it justice.

Since photography came about, some 180 (arguable) years ago, photographers have photographed the landscape, for various reasons. The purpose of the original project at around the turn of the 20th century was a geological and geographic survey of the american west. In the 1970's it was photographed again in the same manner, and just a few years ago it was photographed a third time.

this book is essentially an archival document, showing change and development over a century through photography.

A truly worthwhile piece of work!

STOP 43

Basically its like going out and completing any professional job, no matter what it may be. Then giving your earnings to a stranger and allowing them to take all credit for it, then paying the government tax on what they have earned from you...

this cant be stood for...

its visual artist rape!

The Last Flare Has been Lit

Our initial exhibition was a success, with a good turn out and some really good critical feedback from many of the guests who came on the opening night. This stop motion video was running from the first nail was put into the wall until the last person left on the opening night. Enjoy.

"dont worry about a thing"

Since its 1st of March, spring has begun and in reminiscence of last summer I thought a photo from one of my finer moments was appropriate.

Pictures with a clear one-sided message don't interest me even if I agree with their message; they are mere propaganda.

Current Listening Vol. 5

Rumbleseat, A band that sprung from the Gainsville, Florida band - Hot Water Music. The Band Rumbleseat consists of acoustic folk/rock tunes with rich melody's and deep punkrock roots.

The lyrical content is as fulfilling and compliments the well thought out simplicity of the guitar riffs.

Nostalgic touch

I found this image on my hard drive from an end of 2nd degree year exhibition last year. My most proud body of work I have completed, I was so satisfied with the final images I was really hard struck to pick 3 for the wall. The way it always should be.
