Have been enjoying experimenting with the Holga + Polaroid back – commonly referred to as a Holgaroid. It lends itself to a very dreamy style of image and has given me an idea for a series that I plan to execute very quickly over the next couple of weeks. Maybe I was influenced a little [...]

I am quite enjoying that my travel schedule has become a little less hectic now that I’ve finished shooting the “12 City Project”. And one of the things that I’ve learned in [...]
Celebrating Completion – First look at Tallinn

Light blogging today as I’ve come back from my travels with a bug. But despite that , feel pretty upbeat that I have completed the photographic part of my “12 City Project”. When I started off a year ago it seemed quite an ambitious undertaking, to get myself to 12 different cities for more or [...]

The last few weeks have been a bit of a scramble , with trying to get everything pulled together for the exhibition in Ullapool, while preparing for the last city of the “12 City Project” . And so this wasn’t posted before I set off.
Now I’m back, having completed the last city ! And feeling [...]

A quick glimpse at some of the work in progress. Istanbul is city number 9 in my series of 12. I particularly wanted to include this city to provide a bit of real contrast with the Western European cities. In each city I have tried to photograph one or two very recognisable locations , but [...]

I’m enjoying compiling these “Five on a Friday” blog posts – and glad to see your contributions too. It just seems a nice way to make unexpected discoveries.
Being in Istanbul has reminded me of one of my favourite books – Ali and Nino by Kurban Said. This is a beautifully written tale, set in Baku [...]

One more day to go, for the exhibition at the Gladstone Gallery. Today went really well – quite a few prints sold, including a series of three that, although available singly, does look best when displayed together. So many interesting conversations with people from all over the world and locals too – it takes a [...]
Polaroid “painting” – the camera and the film.
Posted in Photography, tagged enschede, film, photograph, Photography, polaroid, sx70, the impossible project on February 18, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I’m often asked about the technique I use for my Polaroid photographs. The first essential is an SX70 Polaroid camera – these come in a few different variations – I have 3 of them ( just in case !) – and a variety of lenses. The camera looks impressively like a brick when it is [...]
