A Whole New Website

Finally!  I can tell all about my brand new website.  How divine. SO.  It’s going to have a blog attached soon but that’s not quite ready (apparently that’s where all the hard work ...

Adulthood Cometh

So, to fit in with the fact that it is now the end of my life as a student, I have decided it is about time I made an attempt at growing up – at least for financial income purposes – and ...

Happy Accident

Ah love scanning in negs to find a little beauty like this: Don’t even have the slightest clue what it was meant to be, or how in hell I even achieved it, though I suspect opening the back of m...

Favourite Polaroids So Far

I wish I could just present a series of polaroids…I’m thinking I’d be failed for that.  Damn it. Did a bit of filming today for my short film I intended to do – only to find o...

The Red Dress

Quick recap of the day: started off taking polaroids in the garden again, this time using one of my Mum’s dresses – check out the 80s goodness.  I used up my second to last pack of 1987 p...

Daddy Cool

Polaroid Transfers

…yup so transfers!  Finally – promise this is the end of category posts. I wanted to transfer onto materials that have either become part of my collection or else the complete opposite an...

Expired Polaroid

…and some more… I took these ones using type 100 polaroid film that expired in 1987 – the year that I was born.  Significant, eh? Anyway, I think that these are my favourite photos ...

Fade to Black

…Continuing… Yup, here’s a few of the Fade to Black tests I’ve been carrying out. For the first ones, I just watched it develop and change through the colours until I fancied ...

Polaroids in the Garden

Got a few test posts to put up and will be doing them bit by bit, editing, selecting and archiving.  Needs to be categorised otherwise I’ll go mental trying to figure it all out. So I shot thes...

More Tests

So these were from a set using Ilford 3200 delta film in the House and garden.  Nice and grainy: x

Final Tests

Now in the final few weeks of shooting (yikes) and officially less than 100 days left as a student (double yikes) so yeah…I’m truly panicking now.  Anyway, personal breakdowns aside…...

Lucy Meyle

Just found the A-mazing work of Lucy Mayle, which makes me miss the days of pencil and ink fun and also makes me think ‘where have I been?  What am I missing out on??’….should reall...

Panic Panic

I just worked out that I have a LOT of work to do in a verry limited amount of time…shit. I have also just realised that I don’t really know what kind of context I want to produce my work...

Christian Boltanski

We are all so complicated, and then we die. We are a subject one day, with our vanities, our loves, our worries, and then one day, abruptly, we become nothing but an object, an absolutely disgusting ...

Home Again

Yup, there’s nothing quite like the feeling of coming home when taking a train across the Forth Rail Bridge.  It is also always the point in my journey when I curse myself for wrapping up my ca...

Test – Opposite

Precisely that – the exact opposite to the aesthetics of all of my previous testing.  After a few chats with supervisors at uni and friends alike, it has become clear that studying a fashion ba...

Michael Van Der Ham

One hundred percent, without doubt, definitely my favourite so far of London Fashion Week.  It is however, only day two so I might just be getting a little eager and I have seen a quick sneakety peak...

TFI LFW

FACT. I’m sorry but NYFW = massive yawn/snooze/dead fest.  Colin McDowell obviously puts it far more eloquently than I ever could, and I know it’s all about commercial success in New York...

More Film Testing

So yes, a little selection from my further film testing on space, souvenir and loss.  All the photographed items and spaces have a significant memory or sentimental attachment to my Mother. The next ...

Slidey

First round of film processed from the archiving/testing – got a load of scanning to do but here’s the first bit…and it’s 120 slide film. So yes…that’s the first b...

Testy

Also shit digital…but just wait for the film shots – I’m actually excited about that. So yes, the project…it’s kind of developed into looking at objects, souvenirs and c...

Shit Digital

So.  I hate digital.  This is a fact.  Unfortunately for my hatred however, I must grudgingly accept that it can be fairly useful.  I feel dirty saying that.  Ugh.  Anyway, considering I am about a m...

Homeward Bound

So after all the dramz of work and the being kicked out of our flat, I decided to run away from all of my problems (you know, the heroic thing) and hide away in my homely village of Meikle Wartle.  I...

All Change Please…

Yesterday I quit my job.  This is possibly the scariest and yet most liberating thing I have ever done.  Fact.  So now I’m unemployed and searching for a new flat, whilst also attempting to com...

Happy New Year!!
