<span style="font-size: large;">Blackpool</span>, a place I can recall from childhood memories, spending hours either on the beach building sandcastles with my younger brothers or, paddling in the sea, or throwing pennies into the arcade games; Space Invaders, Pac-Man, and the like, very retro, but all the rage, nowadays. If it wasn't the arcade games, then it would be the water cannon or the crappy off-target plastic shotgun and it's very low supply of 'ammo' for a 'quid' ago. Still, it was all so amusing at that young age, as the men in the family, would go for a couple of pints, and the women well, they looked after the kids as usual. Years later, I find myself sat in the car driving my way up to this very Northern seaside resort, think Lancashire accent, but all the dazzle and grit of Vegas. One might think I'm here for a 1UP reunion, to play a final farewell game of Space Invaders...but no, I am here on a mission to follow one of Britain's most intriguing contemporary photographers of the new millennium. Enter Dougie Wallace, aka 'Glasweegee', I first met Dougie at a Photo-Forum at a Calumet Camera shop on Drummond Street, NW1. It was a fantastic talk and I got to meet another photographer famous for his work; '<a href="http://www.iainmckell.com/" target="_blank">The New Gypsies</a>', Iain McKell. I was taken with these guys and actually those that attended especially <a href="http://www.anneheslop.co.uk/blog" target="_blank">Anne Heslop</a>, an established photographer in her own right.<br />
<br />
So several emails and chats later, I would follow Dougie to Blackpool, he was working on his project, 'Stags, Hens and Bunnies', the kind of in your face colour flash photography, for which he later became known for. His style is Bruce Gilden meets Elliot Erwitt meets artistic endeavour, very personable and very matter of fact, he isolates the subjects with the subtle use of flash. However, the scenes that play out and are captured show a dark side to the Britishness that myself and Iain McKell had chatted about post photo-forum talk, these photographs are not like the work of <a href="http://www.keithpattison.com/" target="_blank">Keith Pattison</a>; covering the miner's strike <a href="http://www.vice.com/en_uk/read/keith-pattison-photographs-the-miners-strike-342" target="_blank">August 1984-1985</a>, these show the nature of any would-be bride or husband to be, in a state of flux, to drink off into oblivion the last 'hurrah' if you will of freedom, before settling down to married life, as though it were a sentence to be getting hitched. The photographs depict a side to the British, for which the Brits have become notorious, drinking and debauchery, and over indulgence. It's not just the drinking, it's the ridiculous outfits they wear, as though it were an honour badge, to be dressed up looking like a failed superhero, ending up face down on the pavement, expelling liquids from every conceivable orifice.<br />
<br />
However, most of the punters are happy for Dougie to document this last hurrah, as a keepsake for British society to reflect upon at a later date. He moves quite stealthily meandering through the drunken crowds, to isolate a particular perspective on the human condition; this is what I have come to like about his work. If you want it raw, if you want it 'in your face', here he is, head on to get some sense of what it's like to be out on the piss in Blackpool, there are fights, glasses thrown, punches met with weak teeth, and even the odd pissed up '<a href="http://www.dougiewallace.com/blackpool/35h2lmojtqomizb68vyjzxbi81nhlr" target="_blank">stag</a>', cellophaned to a lamp-post on the parade, for all to see and admire. This is it, Blackpool in all its archaic glory displays a profligate, yet warmly welcomed northern city, which sees humanity and pathos in this popular seaside resort. After following a few parties, it's time to depart this place, I say my goodbyes and arrange to meet Dougie again sometime soon, he gives me a hint of a project, he wishes to conclude.<br />

<br />
Back in London, and am looking forward to viewing the book launch of 'Stags, Hens and Bunnies', a long time coming but all the more worth it, Dougie has arranged a number of exhibitions to launch his book, and to promote new material, or rather material he has been working on for a while, one of those nights is arranged at the Printspace in London, with an after party drinks session, in a local Shoreditch bar. Most of the staff from the 'printspace' attend too, and I get a sense that Dougie really is moving in artistic circles when I happen to converse with a few painters, who have come to admire his work and of course purchase said copy of 'Stags, Hens and Bunnies, a Blackpool story'.<br />
<br />
Yet, I know there is more to come in the form of <a href="http://www.dougiewallace.com/shoreditch/" target="_blank">Shoreditch wildlife</a>, a project he has been photographing of late, and the other project we spoke of and his visits to India, and how legislation is affecting the Padmini taxis, India is known for its high levels of vehicle emission air pollution. Although the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act was passed in 1981 to regulate air pollution and there have been some significant improvements. However, the 2016 Environmental Performance Index ranked India 141 out of 180 countries.[<a href="http://epi.yale.edu/country/india">1</a>] This prompted Dougie to document the region formerly known as Bombay, now Mumbai and the phasing out of those Premier Padmini taxis, a majority of them are characterised by the garish interiors, and of course their charismatic drivers, but so too, the observing occupants indulging in the Glaswegian whimsical approach accompanied with a burst of flash from his flashguns. He would frame the subjects in such a way that would be not too dissimilar to the approach of <a href="http://www.brucegilden.com/foreclosures/" target="_blank">Bruce Gilden</a>; isolating the very subject. Often the images vibrant, colourful, and almost high definition.<br />
<br />
This is what Dougie was born to do, to be immersed in his perspective of the world and to share that point of view, to show us what the consequences of the rising elitist 'one percent', are having on all who live in inner-city London, and it's economic and political demise through gentrification on the remaining ninety-nine percent. Dougie's work of late is critically acclaimed, whilst its true that not all who have viewed or read about his work in columns of various broadsheets, magazines, and the social media, it is, without doubt, that his work is getting some serious attention from the right kind of people; Dougie Wallace received an award from the inaugural <a href="https://www.magnumphotos.com/theory-and-practice/magnum-photography-awards/" target="_blank">Magnum Photography Awards</a> alongside LensCulture for his work; <a href="http://www.dougiewallace.com/harrodsburg/" target="_blank">Harrodsburg</a>. The images are bright, brash and in your face, they point a finger at the elite and show us how ostentatious they are. They're colourful granted, but they also show how big a gap there is in the housing market, out goes the housing estates and communities, to be replaced by opulent wood and glass super sheds built on a steel frame, and sold off to those who now see them as gold bar assets, rather than a place to live. Dougie Wallaces' work reflects what is happening in Britain today, we see how the mass appeal is to those Arabian oil barons who come to London, to escape the torrid heat of the middle eastern summer. We see many Qatari families shopping in Knightsbridge, and buying all the properties up in that Kensington and Chelsea postcode; pricing out what was once considered only for the upper-middle-class purse of the stiff-upper-lip Brits, has now become a currency free for all for the ultra-affluent Arabian Royals.<br />
<br />
Certainly a far cry from...Stags, Hens, and Bunnies...a Blackpool story, Dougie has created a whole new documentary perspective on the super rich of the world, and there got it, flaunt it playgrounds. Whilst there is a stark exposé of the rich kids at play in Londons SW1 postcode, there is also the influence of <a href="https://pro.magnumphotos.com/Package/2K7O3RZ7T9S" target="_blank">Elliot Erwitt </a>in Dougie's work, his latest venture sees him shoot the most elaborate, toy dogs, which inherently become fashionable to have in one's Louis Vuitton handbag, but remember they are just colourful as their owners. The photographs depict anything from Labradoodles to Chihuahua and Pomeranian mixes, then we have the bigger gundogs too. They're all there to see and just as brash as the owners.<br />
<br />
So what next for Dougie Wallace, watch this space...<br />

It's a great city to walk, to take in its sights, smells, sounds. It's a city that overloads your senses, even one's sense of taste, London's restaurants and fast food joints has much on offer to be sated in this bustling metropolis of London. Yet, here I am walking the Regents Park Canal walkway, and central London seems miles away. I could be in inner city London shooting backstreets, however, today I felt like walking and taking in all that it has to offer, and it was a good decision. I find a series of shots, not all yet edited or posted to this site because I like to savour what I have taken by walking away from them, I often choose the medium of film to shoot, rather than digital. My camera choice is an old Pentax MX; its great I have two primes; a 28mm and a nifty fifty to boot, that's all I need to get by shooting and documenting the street. Get home count my rolls, then get 'em deve'd at home or at Lomo. It's great because you can scan them and see what you do have then, edit them down, this one, in particular, is reminiscent of a novel penned by George Orwell, that dark dystopian backdrop, then I suddenly remember why it was I chose to walk along the canal, to escape the dehumanising capital, and it's fervent politics, leading up to an insecure future in the form of #BREXIT, yes, even the very colloquial term has earned a place in digital society, and granted an official hashtag!<br />

However, it's the future that worries me, it disturbs me almost, as I realise I have many friends who are European, and Arabian some Islamic by default, others Christian. Okay, I admit I don't define religion nor do I define race, what does that mean exactly, is it a race to the very end to see which of the species can last or, has earned the right to this third rock from the sun? That's pointless, surely we're all in this together, the insects of this world are just as barbaric as humans, however, those insects work and live together cohesively for the benefit of their respective species. I revert back to my own species and recognise that this woman, though granted is Middle Eastern, she absolutely has every right to exist in a country where she feels that it will benefit herself and her family. This brings me back to George Orwell's dystopian novel Ninety Eighty-Four, incredible writing which makes one feel his imagination, whirring about inside your head, to envisage such a time and a place, here finally I get to use my other sense, that of touch and to be able to feel that dystopian time within the very frame, I have taken. </div>

Introduction</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Collecting photographic monographs by default is somewhat of a biased choice, I've been collecting certain works of photographer’s simply because of the aesthetic within the photographer’s photographs, what emotional or provocative content they contain or indeed what the narrative may entail to capture my attention, for example, if the narrative is one of a particular time and place i.e. the ground zero of 9/11 or the aftermath of the<a href="http://chernobylgallery.com/chernobyl-disaster/what-is-chernobyl/" target="_blank"> Chernobyl</a> disaster. So, I ask myself these questions in order to come to a decision about how I want to be influenced as a photographer myself, what do I want from my photography, what do I want to give back if anything and, how do I want to influence others in return for the knowledge gained / shared? These are just a few thoughts I have when purchasing a photographer’s monograph. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My earlier purchases have always been based on the photographer and his reputation as a photographer, think Robert Doisneau or <a href="http://buchhandlung-walther-koenig.de/koenig2/index.php?mode=details&showcase=1&art=1407831" target="_blank">Andre Kértész,</a> I have always thought that my perception of documenting life in the city or its suburbs was a reflection of how it was done in mainland Europe, pre and post-world war two. Many a photographer of that period used analogue cameras that were robust but lightweight, and not too intimidating to the subject they were photographing. They moved with ease with a 35mm camera, that could easily frame its subject and thus capture an interpretation of the human condition. After all, that is the reason I purchased said photographic essays, not because of the way they were bound but, because of the human interest, I have in society on the whole. Having moved on from that influence of the monochrome photographs but, still referring to them every now and again for that particular aesthetic, I have a penchant for monochrome film…I moved on to another form of artistic endeavour, no not digital not quite yet, anyway but, that of colour. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Alex Webb is a prolific photographer whose use of colour is outstanding for obvious reasons to those in the know, but also how the use of colour in his works seemingly takes on not just the aesthetic of the work, but, in some cases the very narrative of the work. So whilst scouring the many books some bookstalls have in the way of photographers think <a href="http://buchhandlung-walther-koenig.de/koenig2/index.php?mode=start" target="_blank">Koenig Books</a>, London. I happened upon one of Alex Webb’s books none other than the work Istanbul: City of a Hundred Names with an essay by Orhan Pamuk, a recipient of the 2006 Nobel Prize for Literature. I skimmed a few paragraphs and thought yeah, this is interesting I’ll get this for my collection. Once I opened up said book in the confines of my apartment, the sunlight peering in through the partially opened blinds and throwing up some sort of hazy atmospheric warmth within the space I was occupying, I settled down with a damn good mug of coffee and set about immersing myself within the context of Alex Webb and his tale of his adventures in Istanbul: The City of a Hundred Names. <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">The Influence of Alex Webb</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Istanbul a major city in Turkey that straddles both the Asian and European continents across the Bosphorus Strait, an old city which has embraced many empires and cultures throughout it's turbulent but diverse and culturally influential history. Perhaps this is what attracted Alex Webb to Istanbul, although he does speak of his influence in his work being that of borders and this is what is significant in his work, he is not just a colourist but, someone who utilises the same thematic throughout his work and, that being a country and its borders. Borders have long been of interest to a documentary photographer, the fractious nature of the subject a naturally occurring construct of division and of indifference towards your neighbouring country, or ‘other’. Ideally, a border is a point were subtle nuances of culture and sub-culture emerge and coexist in some pseudo-Utopian manner. Here then, is the very narrative that Webb strives to collate some form of integration between differing cultures at the very locale of the border. as they come together. Turkey is noted for its secular republic though Islam may have a majority, it is a country which has embraced both ancient and modern influences in its daily way of life. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This is what I perceive as the appealing side of his documentary approach to his work, as we view the daily lives of the plethora of diversity in Istanbul from its <a href="http://www.grandbazaaristanbul.org/Grand_Bazaar_Istanbul.html" target="_blank">Grand Bazaar </a>hosting a labyrinth of glittering delights with beckoning sellers peddling anything that is both vibrant as it is colourful, from jewellery to spices to textiles and souvenirs. Much to see much to do, though if you’re here to shop you may miss a scene, so it is best to stay focused on those that are doing the bartering and shopping so that you can do the photographing of what is happening in this vibrant city. This is what Webb captures the mundane everyday existence of life in an incredible city, albeit he captures and represents its inhabitants and visitors with a hint of geometry, when I view the photographs, I can see the influence of one <a href="https://www.abebooks.co.uk/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=20220811894&searchurl=sts%3Dt%26sortby%3D17%26an%3DHenri%2BCartier%2BBresson" target="_blank">Henri Cartier-Bresson</a>, it’s the structure of the photograph and how it is composed that makes me think this way, the sudden gesture of a man holding his hand to his chin as though stroking his beard or a woman carrying a child whilst the gaze of the child is transfixed with some other nonchalantly smoking a cigarette. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
They’re all there for us to see, and to imagine how the scene played out or what preceded the ‘event’ as it is, Alex Webb has most certainly built on what has gone before (see Hot Light Half-Made Worlds, <a href="http://buchhandlung-walther-koenig.de/koenig2/index.php?mode=details&showcase=1&art=1458171" target="_blank">The Suffering of Light</a> among many others. There is also the homage to Turkish history and culture itself with several of his works containing some element of Istanbul’s heritage, all in all, I find his work fascinating, informative and definitely collectible. If this is what you’re seeking to influence your own photography or you’re looking to expand your collection of photographic essays then this is a worthy choice, of course a connoisseur would also perhaps have something which is even more obscure to many, for example, I have a copy of <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Women-Molise-Italian-Village-1950/dp/0312273126/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1480786341&sr=1-1&keywords=the+women+of+molise" target="_blank">The Women of Molise </a>by Frank Monaco, a photographer who visited his mother’s homeland of Molise, Italy to document his own heritage. It is by all accounts a wonderful photographic document which somehow relates to Alex Webb’s own experience of visiting Istanbul with his parents and falling in love with a country whose culture was different to his own. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Conclusion</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It is then an influential collection of photographs that depict a sense of familiarity in the style of the presentation and perhaps the emotional content and provocative manner in which the subjects present themselves, Webb focuses a lot as I mentioned earlier on juxtaposing his subjects with certain shapes or geometry, and pays homage to a host of colourists who has gone before, with just a subtle hint of subdued colour in low light, which I find very warming. If you have not seen the work of Alex Webb then this is a great place to start, however, I am prompted to inform you of Memory City which is a collaboration between him and his wife Rebecca Norris Webb, and is a study of Eastman Kodak and its uncertain future as a medium and is reflected in Rochester, New York, go seek it out.</div>

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">I first met Arty Florea at the Oxford Arms Pub in Camden, one of my local haunts good for a Saturday afternoon of football, however, I wasn't there for the football. I was there to hopefully meet anyone who had an interesting story to tell, as a photojournalist I was on the hunt for a story, so to speak. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">I got chatting to a guy namely, Arty Florea an Australian who can speak Italian and we had a few beers together, he told me how passionate he was about making music, and how he and Alfio Caracciolo (the band's drummer), had met and thus started their musical journey to London. A few weeks later and I came to photograph Arty and his band Human in Bloom at The Islington pub in Angel, London. The venue though small has a good sound to it, and the sound engineer did a good job, I listen intently as I'm photographing waiting for the right shot to capture some emotion, a shot that will be provocative and hopefully hit a nerve with the crowd, and this track; <i><a href="https://soundcloud.com/humaninbloom/all-the-fish-live-mastered" target="_blank">All The Fish</a></i> finds the right spot, a minimal electronica meets soft rock, this is your pick up on the XX influence, a sound seemingly post-apocalyptic and reflective of a love lost.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">All the material is their own and I am treated to <i><a href="https://youtu.be/WK-2GGACLuw" target="_blank">The Armoury</a></i>, a raw thrashy, deep baseline, almost experimental electronica meets indie pop, almost military in its delivery, the tracks and the band speak for themselves, they have developed their own sound and style and having been together for the last two years, they're very tight, so tight you could swear there was some sort of telekinesis within the band. They read each other well, instinctively knowing how to please the crowd, some of the work is eclectic folk, with a bit of pop, and indie-rock thrown in for good measure and shows how versatile the band really is. One of the tracks of the night was <i><a href="https://youtu.be/WK-2GGACLuw" target="_blank">Late Ol’ Night</a></i>, think Coldplay meets the XX meets Radiohead, but then auspiciously decides the best way forward is to simply copy themselves. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<h1>
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> </span></h1>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Final year is
now literally happening…and although my initial plan was to document the San
Fermin Bull Running held annually in Pamplona, España. I found myself
frustrated with the logistical difficulties, which happened early on in my trip.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Losing ones luggage at the airport was one
such occurrence that had slowed my efforts down a little; another was losing
the actual press pass in the process. Admittedly I did not let this hold me
back, I thought they’re other possibilities, other stories I can find. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">And find I did,
I met up one day immediately before the run on an early morning saunter around
the old town of Pamplona, with an animal rights activist namely ‘Paulo’, he was
slight in build and had dreads and feral in appearance, but a strong belief in
the welfare of animals. He was posting bills around the small cobbled streets
that seem to turn every corner in the old town. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">I thought, “Wow,
this is radical!” Someone, who is resident to the location of my shoot and
story, but wholly against the idea of this festival of the Saint Fermin, and
the running of the bulls. I found this refreshing and at the same time
recognised the opportunity for a story, thinking this is the angle that would
appeal to a wider audience especially those of us who are strictly vegan. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">So I introduced
myself in Spanish, and then came a retort in English, which lead me somewhat
relieved but not really surprised as the education system in many European
schools teach English as a secondary language, in fact many Europeans are
bilingual or speak a multitude of languages these days. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">However, I
wasn’t here to brush up on my Spanish, I was here to gain some story and a
factual documentation of an event that has happened since the 14<sup>th</sup>
Century A.D. and highlighted in the novel <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The
Sun Also Rises </i>(Hemingway, 1926) <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">My plan was to
capture the essence of the event, and to some extent documentation of the San
Fermin Bull run, was seemingly a very much the same every day story. If I had
not met Paulo, then it would not have seemed a really feasible idea. However,
the meeting was brief and so too was the story. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">On my return to
London, I began to shoot the streets but with very little enthusiasm. Had the
trip to Spain and its unsuccessful conclusion given myself a photographer’s
block? It seemed as though the creative process had dried up until I realised
that my earlier encounter with an old friend, seemed much more realistic. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">So with renewed
vigour, I decided to opt for Plan ‘B’; which was to document a natural supplements
bodybuilder, namely a guy I knew I could trust and certainly have no problem
with access. This now was definitely my aim; after all if this was my major
personal project, I could leave a benchmark so to speak. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">So after our one
to one tutorials and receiving much needed and invaluable advice regarding my
new project, my tutor had really liked the idea of me shooting this story. He
gave me a few pointers; one was to watch the Rocky Balboa films of the 1980s
era, to get an idea of how to document such a local hero. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">The other was to
draw a shooting script; this would enable me to get some idea of how to make
the story not just the photographs. It’s a very important practice as
documentary photographers to get some idea of how you wish the story to go, after
all this story focuses on bodybuilding, with that in mind there are some
issues, some very controversial to say the least. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Narcissism plays
a part in the art of bodybuilding, as does the factor of anabolic steroids,
natural supplements and the term ‘reverse anorexia’ or ‘bigorexia’ as it is
also known. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Testosterone is
a natural anabolic steroid. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Both Testosterone and Human Growth Hormone circulate
naturally in your body. Testosterone is an anabolic steroid—a hormone that
contributes to male characteristics, including increased muscle mass. HGH is
produced in the pituitary gland, activating receptors that signal muscle
growth. Upping your levels of testosterone and HGH can have benefits that range
from increased energy and libido to muscle mass and athletic performance. But
in synthetic form, both testosterone and HGH set off alarms in drug tests, as
both are banned in pro sports for their potential to give the user an unfair
competitive advantage.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Over the last
few decades many athletes <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Ben Johnson</i>
(Canadian), <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Floyd Landis</i> (American) <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Lance Armstrong </i>(American) and many
others besides across many sporting platforms, have been banned for drug use in
their sport. The question of amateurs now ‘emulating the pros’ realises that
cheating is endemic in our society.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">The
investigative story will focus on the backdrop of a Northern industrial town
namely Barnsley and a key individual <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Paul</i>.
Paul works in a gym on a daily basis, and has gained success through a program,
which focuses mainly on the dietary supplements to increase male enhancement
rather than the use of drugs. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">His background
of being a family man, and receiving many accolades has shone through and
through his success has gained him much recognition among his peers, however he
knows that doping is prevalent in his chosen sport and wishes to promote
anti-drug use within the field of body building. Many of his awards / trophies
have a symbolic view of a ‘warrior’, this warrior is depicted as a “Spartan’.
The Spartan program is a program that utilises natural dietary ingredients and
sheer hard work, thus giving a perspective that ‘real men’ make the best of
what they have without the use of drugs. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Paul is entering
another competition namely the National Amateur Body Builders Association.
Having placing third and first in his last two competitions, documenting his
approach and gaining insight in to his world through his preparation will be
the key to the story. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Images captured
will be between 30 – 50 respectively though a short 3 – 5 minute film is an
option in order for the story to come across from the subject’s own viewpoint. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Back story
images of Paul, and his home life, will be establishing images to gain a sense
of the character, photographs of him and his family will gain a sense of
relationships to enable to show facets of his home life. Further documentation
of his work life / preparation will enable one to closer scrutinise the
integrity of the character, and what they’re setting out to prove. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Detail shots
will investigate the products used in the subject’s preparation, and will look
for legality in their approach, and question the ethics of which he represents.
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">The backstory
will envisage an outline, to which we can view the character of this modern day
‘Spartan’, to capture a viewpoint and possibly raise awareness of a more
discerning issue, that which focuses on diet. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Dietary concerns
have been raised in recent years with many woman’s and men’s health magazines
seeking to promote a healthier lifestyle and targeting obesity, however many
are concerned that bodybuilding also hides an undeniable truth that just like
those who are anorexic, so too are bodybuilders suffering from an eating
disorder, reverse anorexia, muscle dysmorphia and that constant impact on the
body is actually a negative effect rather than positive. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">The story is a
valid argument, which raises concerns about many aspects of society, the use of
drugs in sport and the concerns of dietary manipulation on the body and the
effects from a physiological and psychological perspective. Visually the story
should portray these concerns within the viewer, many questions and topics
should ensue among those who have a key interest in this field. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Research<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">The key research
has been from the magazines themselves as well as key medical journals, which
have been focused on nutrition and physical enhancement through dietary
supplements, speaking with other bodybuilders and gaining access to a support
group for sufferers of reverse anorexia and bigorexia / muscle dysmorphia.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">A number of
organisations are also based in Yorkshire, which support sufferers of bulimia
nervosa. Initial contact has been made with the B-eat organisation, a charity
that helps those sufferers of the aforementioned to gain a better lifestyle,
through mental health support. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Looking at key
photo-stories of the same subject and viewing documentaries on eating disorders
will gain a greater understanding of those who manipulate the physiological
aspect of their bodies and how it relates to mental health. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">One in
particular is the long running series produced by Channel Four, ‘Body Shock’.
Perhaps viewing a couple of these episodes would enrich my thought process, and
give me greater depth to the outcome of the story, I am documenting. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Another aspect
is to keep a diary; this will help with my dissertation too, as writing will give
practice, and a wider vocabulary will ensue whilst keeping this blog up to
date. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s hard to believe that one of the finest and most notable
female photographers of Americas’ photographic history has passed away. <a href="http://www.maryellenmark.com/index.html" target="_blank">Mary Ellen Mark</a> had established herself and defined her enigmatic style of
photojournalism, documentary photography, and portraiture and advertising
photographic prowess. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She had remarkable resilience and her work shows us great
depth to her as a human being, her photographs documenting the world in which
women live, stories ranging from Ward 81 a woman’s ward in an asylum, girl
prostitutes in Bombay, Tiny (a lifelong project), a homeless child/woman,
Mother Theresa, high school Proms, even the Indian circuses, all talk about
life and death in our world.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The works have spanned over a collection of books and
many exhibitions showcasing her incredible photographic perspective of the
world. Admittedly I had not really looked at the works until viewing a film
entitled <a href="http://everybodystreet.com/archive" target="_blank">‘Everybody Street’</a> produced by Lucy Cooper and directed by Cheryl
Dunn. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I was in awe of her then, and still am to this day, it is
saddening to hear of her passing. However, I feel my life is greatly enriched
for her being born and pursuing the art of photography, her works will continue
to inspire many to come who will choose a similar path and pursue a career as
wonderful and magical as hers. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #262626; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Her accolades include the Cornell Capa
Award by the International Center of Photography, the <a href="http://www.icp.org/infinity-awards" target="_blank">Infinity Award forJournalism</a>, an Erna & Victor Hasselblad Foundation Grant, and a Walter
Annenberg Grant. Among her other awards are the John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship,
the Matrix Award for outstanding woman in the field of film/photography, and
the Dr. Erich Salomon Award for outstanding merits in the field of journalistic
photography. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

honorary Doctor of Fine Arts degrees from her Alma Mater, the University of
Pennsylvania and the University of the Arts; three fellowships from the
National Endowment for the Arts; the Photographer of the Year Award from the
Friends of Photography; the World Press Award for Outstanding Body of Work Throughout
the Years; the Victor Hasselblad Cover Award; two Robert F. Kennedy Awards; and
the Creative Arts Award Citation for Photography at Brandeis University</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #262626; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

to highlight such a marvelous career. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">S</span><span style="font-size: 16pt;">o here is the latest story, I covered just to give you all out there an idea of what I enjoy shooting, when in London. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">I have been gaining trust </span><span style="font-size: 16pt;">of two or more individuals when covering the recent demonstrations in London. I </span><span style="font-size: 16pt;">have captured images from the housing crisis in London, and those who represent </span><span style="font-size: 16pt;">Network Rail; whom are trying to gentrify Brixton by outpacing the market traders, criminal!</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 16pt;">Brixton, is a marvelous community in London, the people who come from such a diverse range of ethnic groups really struck a chord with myself as you can see on my website under reclaim Brixton. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 16pt;">These recent shots are from the post GE2015 Election and the opposition of the incoming Tory government. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 24.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Times; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">W</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Times; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">ow such a long, long time
since I've been here...it seems too long. Things have changed for sure...I seem
to be taking more pictures focused on actual happenings and events than the
normal street photography I have done previously.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Times; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">Since moving to a new
University, things have gotten a lot better, the 'better' is the being able to
photograph a true representation of life in the UK, it made me reminisce of the
possibility of life being a student in the north of Britain, well Scotland
actually to be a photographer there, rather than the hustle and the bustle of
living in London.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Times; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">However living in London
does have its benefits I am much closer to mainland Europe, so only a forty
minute flight to go and see family in France, (a real bonus) for photography of
a different kind, or rather I should say photography of a different arena.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Times; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">The one bonus of travelling
there would be not just the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">French
cuisine, </i>but to see how my family are, especially since its coming up
towards the end of another year, everybody is more or less a year older and yes
the shape of things to come seems to increase ones size in more ways than
one…yes it’s fucking Christmas (again)…I don’t want to come across as a party
pooper, but it seems the older I get the novelty really does wear off...which
is why hopefully so should the weight. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

screaming out who ate all the pies! Well err, surprisingly not me, I do like a
mince pie…its just it gets too much. Same old, same old every year without
fail, exuberant items going on sale in some dark hour that seemingly brings out
the worst would be <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/business/live/2014/nov/28/black-friday-uk-shoppers-fight-for-bargains-at-london-supermarkets-live" target="_blank">post apocalyptic shopper,</a> there could ever be, Black Friday

why do we have to be subjected to scenes such as this when they’re people
around the world needing clothing, needing food, and needing shelter? Instead
the beast of consumerism rears its ugly head and compels you buy in to the
nightmare that is only a celebration of capitalism. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

giving, not just having the latest gadget to exfoliate your hairier than your
dog showpiece. I was stood outside the store United Colors of Benetton on
Oxford Circus, Saturday. A protest against animal cruelty was being aimed at
the London store, I know some of the items they sell are made of wait for it Eco-friendly fur…as opposed to non Eco-friendly fur? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

fur? Here’s a quote from a website pertaining to promote fur as a recyclable
choice this winter:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Times; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="http://www.furisgreen.com/questions_about_fur.aspx" target="_blank"> “The furs we use are abundant; never from endangered species.”</a><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #3b402d; font-family: Times; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>

find it ironic that a store would claim to sell an Eco-friendly product; that
does not contribute towards a sustainable green future, what I mean by that
statement is the product does not directly affect the renewable energy supplies
and therefore cannot be green? Secondly what furs do you know of that are
abundant, a troublesome wolf perhaps, or a herd of Buffalo. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

other gripe this week came from a well known hotel, in fact Claridge’s where all
the best dressed breasts can be seen 'literally' feeding their offspring, in a
world that suggests breast is best (especially for baby) it seems that a mother
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><a href="http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2014/dec/02/claridges-hotel-breastfeeding-woman-cover-up" target="_blank">Louise Burns </a></i>actually, was told to
cover up! Surely covering a child’s air space is tantamount to suffocating? How
could such a perfectly natural act be offensive to human beings whom, themselves who
have been borne of a mother, when such an act is taking place, whilst they’re

Claridge’s. Female Police officers were in attendance, were by I was told by
one such WPC that I was in the way, I was on the road were parking was
available because I felt that standing on the pavement, I was in the way of the
mothers and infants. I digress; their protest was however fairly quiet it was
like looking at a newborns ward monthly reunion party, ironically. <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

the history of photography, there have been countless great photographs taken
by great photographers who have made such an impact on the art of
photography, or the way we perceive the photograph that each time a
photographer exhibits a new piece of work, we are enthralled by the way the
photograph was taken, or what the photographer has left out by means of
artistic intent. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Leiter for example was one such photographer who photographed the street at
differing times of the day in all weathers literally, though his great
photographs ere shot in such an abstract way, that the photograph becomes much
more interesting. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

hungry and have moved across the dustbowl of America, the crops in the area
offer very little. So Lange documented the daily lives of these people, to

compelling viewing, is it the fact that the children face in towards their
mother whom offers support in the warmth of her bosom. Whilst the mother wears
an outward appearance that seems to evoke such emotion, a worried face that
draws upon the uncertainty of tomorrow. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

honest one habit which seems to follow <a href="http://us.leica-camera.com/" target="_blank">Leica®</a> users is that they carry their

so you have a greater understanding of the subject. Though when I first started
out I was shooting anything really. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

look like happy snaps, and some do not. Now when I view my images they have
improved in subject matter and some actually tell stories. This is what you
should aim for when going out to the street. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

get into practice is to shoot film, because when I shoot film I limit the
subject to may be one or two frames, but try and make those shots count, you
want to aim for impact from the shoot. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

years to come, you become more attuned to your surroundings, one way of doing
this is to get out and try and shoot everyday, and to engage with your

visible when viewing his works, his photographs are outstanding and are so in

the great photographers of the twenty-first century. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Though I do try to influence the moment, if I am caught off

<span style="font-family: Times; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Sometimes it pays off, sometimes not. Though if you have the
confidence to build a rapport with your subject, you never know the outcome
could be a great photograph. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I must
admit living in a city also helps, not just because they’re a lot people, and
subjects to photograph but I have access to transport links which can take me
out of the city and maybe go to another city a couple of hours away or farther.

out noticeboards on photography websites, or the magazines themselves. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Another way of getting involved with other photographers is
to approach them if they’re shooting the street, or landscape or whatever they
may be capturing at the time. I am always bumping into and socialising with
other photographers. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I always tend to watch them at first to see what they’re
photographing you find out quickly if they’re street photographers, or just
your run of the mill happy snapper. If they are shooting in an enthusiastic
erratic manner, then you can safely bet the photographer is interested in what
is happening before their eyes. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Many street photographers will create a montage of people,
and interesting stories to create a great photograph. I have found that the
Greek photographer <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/zisskar/" target="_blank">Zisis Kardianos</a> shoots definitely for storylines, and layers
the photograph with interesting juxtaposition, and geometry the subjects seem
to relate to each other somehow. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

for similarities in hand gestures, colours etc. All these converge into the
human element in the photograph. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-themecolor: text1;">From time to time we share
our knowledge of literature, photography, film or any other form art. So when
someone you follow and admire begins to share some literature, which is also
accompanied by some of most prolific photographs of places, I have only ever
heard of and not seen with my own eyes, well you begin to listen with ears
pricked. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-themecolor: text1;">The context of the book is
at first uncertain so I decide to look up the photographer, to get an idea of
the person, I realise of course that the photographer is also published on Dewi
Lewis Publishing, founded in 1994 its internationally known for its photography
list. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: black; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-themecolor: text1;">I then investigate further
and see a name I am familiar with after visiting the <a href="http://www.openeye.org.uk/" target="_blank">Open Eye Gallery,</a> at Mann
Island. That name is </span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-themecolor: text1;"><a href="http://www.dewilewis.com/collections/new-titles/products/wilder-mann" target="_blank">Charles Fréger</a> he photographed a series of images that
depict a link between man and beast and the cycle of life and that of the
seasons too. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

focuses on the transformation of man into beast through the interpretation of
traditional pagan rituals, these rituals differ slightly from region to region
as do the images of the beasts.<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

photographer Iain McKell, and the relationship between British identity and
traditional beliefs. The conversation took place after meeting Iain at a
seminar at Calumet photographic shop in Drummond Street, London. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

live, all photography is thus a documentary it is a portrait of life. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

from the start; I guess it’s the learning process, the education of viewing
another culture and learning from that experience through education and
stimulation of ones intellect. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

further with my own photography, as I wish to produce much more work, work that
will interest a future generation. Who knows it may become something much more
than that. I also like to read other blogs too, though am the type of person
who likes to censor what blogs I do follow or read, so I specifically choose

that <a href="http://www.dewilewis.com/collections/new-titles/products/stags-hens-and-bunnies" target="_blank">Dougie Wallace </a>had also shared on his own page, this book was relative to
the identity of Britain and that of the Britishness that describes our tribe
and associates that identity to the old empire, hence the title Empire, the
book by British born photographer Jon Tonks is a remarkable collection of
photographs that evoke so much emotion considering the current state of the
empire. <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

am of course referring to the possible independence of Scotland. Glasgow has
recently enjoyed huge success with the commonwealth games. All these people
from a wider colonial empire, and in some manner still representing a state of

from an Indian. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Britain was once a huge empire that covered a quarter of the globes landmass.
Since that time photography has documented so much and it is great to see that
some British photographers, still think of Britain in such a way as to document
its ever-changing face. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

captured in the usual in your face style that has become Dougie’s inspiring,
fresh, and evocative trademark. If any you follow his work you will know of his
works including <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Road Wallah </i>which is
a fascinating look at the black and yellow Fiat taxis driven in what was known
as Bombay now Mumbai, India. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

the new sleeker vehicles that would meet European Emission Standards. So those
iconic cars had to be documented some how and so it was Dougie Wallace who takes
up the mantle and thus creates an interesting look at the culture of Mumbai
from a cab drivers perspective. <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

proves he’s here very much a street photographer, but a great photojournalist
who has the inclination of capturing images that we can relate to in our own
little mannerisms, we see ourselves in everyday life, those little nuances of
humor we recognise in ourselves that seem to amplify, when captured at 500<sup>th</sup>
of a second. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

dramatically so. If you have not seen his work I suggest you look at “Stags,
Hens and Bunnies”. If you have ever been to Blackpool on a weekend for a night
out or Stag or Hen weekend you will know how this is for so many couples across
the UK and beyond. <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times";">A couple of weeks ago on <a href="https://secure.flickr.com/photos/madison_guy/14644143229/in/explore-2014-08-04">Flickr</a>, I decided to join the group <a href="https://secure.flickr.com/groups/spnc/">SPNC</a>.
Great groups of street photography enthusiast’s people like you and me who have
a love of photography. Although to be honest there are some photographers on
there who exclusively just shoot street photography, there are some who shoot
random style. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times";">These random style photographers do have a mind of
their own when it comes to this kind of work, they look for multiple layers,
negative space in certain locations. Those of you who know me know that too, I
enjoy photographing geometry or geometrical shapes in certain situations.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times";">Whilst my main sort of photographic composition,
usually involves focusing on triangular and linear compositions, other
photographers seem to have the knack of layering with shapes and others combine
light and shadow into their work.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times";">I have come to realise something lately, when I look
at a past master photographers work, the question which is beginning to form in
my mind is this: Is there work still relevant in todays marketplace?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times";">So I go through my list of photographers’ books that I
do own or have read their bibliography at least viewed some of their portfolio.
So I typically looked Robert Doisneau and <a href="http://www.photographersgallery.com/by_artist.asp?id=200">AndréKertész</a>, two
very different styles although both shot black and white photographs, Kertész
concentrated more on the artistic style of black and white photography
photographing a lot of subjects.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times";">Where as Robert Doisneau photographed a
lot of street photography, he also shot similar locations to Henri
Cartier-Bresson. He focused on shapes, however they’re a lot of photographs
shot by Robert Doisneau that one could argue they are actually staged
photographs in the street. Indeed one of his most famous photographs <a href="https://vimeo.com/65868352"><i>Le baiser de
l'hôtel de ville</i></a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia";"> (The </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times";">Kiss by the <a href="http://www.csmonitor.com/tags/topic/Hotel+de+Ville"><span style="text-decoration: none;">Hôtel de
Ville</span></a>)”, was staged although the photograph is not as iconic as
Alfred Eisenstaedt’s Sailor kiss on V.E Day it is none the less a fascinating
image. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times";">It is also surrounded by such a huge controversy in
today’s street photography ethics; some photographers do not like the use of
staging a street shot. Certainly in the case of Doisneau it lead to court
battle.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times";">However interesting debate does ensue in this
case: <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times";">What this has lead to is me asking more questions
about other photographers works, after all those who have studied photography
have at some point done some work in a studio.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times";">So does that mean all the past master photographers
staged their iconic and most memorable photographs, possibly to some extent.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times";">The irony of it all though for me is if am serious
about creating art or am I serious about creating staged art? It’s a dilemma to
stage a photograph and make it look as though it is not staged or to shoot some
street scene and await something to happen some story to rear its head in such
a manner that it does not look contrived.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

passionate about photography as you and me. This is great stuff okay I admit
not every photographer I know owns a <a href="http://www.canon.co.uk/For_Home/Product_Finder/Cameras/Digital_SLR/EOS_5D/">Canon 5D</a> or a <a href="http://www.kenrockwell.com/leica/m-240.htm">Leica
M</a> for example, two separate pieces of kit on so many levels. The 5D
makes a great photojournalist camera, for street photography though it is not
practical. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Meyerowitz they all use Leica cameras, owning a Leica does not make you a great
photographer, capturing great moments in time, makes you a great photographer
or in the words of <a href="http://www.icp.org/museum/exhibitions/andre-kertesz">André Kertész</a>, it
makes you an eternal amateur.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

me I too have a fondness for colour film and colour digital however with
digital I get my instant fix of viewing my images once I get home. Though with
film it is a different process and that process of producing a print is one
that will stay with you forever once you process your first roll and then produce
a series of prints.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

you may remember I talked about the photographer <a href="http://www.getty.edu/art/exhibitions/metzker/metzker.html">Ray K. Metzker</a> and his combination of splicing
together these composites, his works would focus on light and shadow, he would
over emphasise the subject matter in such a way that makes it abstract, the
overall composition would be </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times";">focused on shapes depicting

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times;">As a passionate photographer, I felt the need to share
my thoughts on working photographers particularly those who unquestionably
devote their interests in the human condition of rights. I watched the film by
Sebastian Junger and Tim Hetherington entitled "<a href="http://restrepothemovie.com/"><span style="color: #0000e9;">Restrepo</span></a>"
and am going to be watching the sequel <a href="http://korengalthemovie.com/"><span style="color: #0000e9;">Korengal</span></a>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times;">The title of this post above is the film about the
life and time of Photographer, Filmmaker, and Human Rights Activist Tim
Hetherington. He was born in Birkenhead and studied at Oxford, from the film
you get to see his generosity and his belief that people, no matter what your
colour, creed or nationality. We are all connected.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times;">I like the warmth that the statement and thought
process brings, I am a photographer whose interest in photography and <a href="http://www.miltonrogovin.com/"><span style="color: #0000e9;">social
documentary</span></a> will hopefully have such a rewarding career and life as
Tim Hetherington’s in this chosen vocation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times;">We know through history that photographers who take up
this route of or rather this genre of the medium become hardened to some
degree, however they are not without some form of self-imposed torture. The
photographers mind in this context is to get the story without question, the
reason because we must inform and educate.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times;">The loss of many a journalist is always a sad and
tragic loss, however what they leave behind is a legacy to all photographers
and journalists alike. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times;">So is that a plausible reason to continue to follow
this field of work, this genre of photography? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times;">Yes, of course it is. I can remember the mandate to
which I signed a declaration to join the United Nations Forces. Whilst I was they’re
often patrolling the so-called buffer zone. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times;">One day in fact the month of August 1996, was a
perfect example of how protest leads to death. The Greek Cypriot </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times;"><a href="https://vimeo.com/14097974" target="_blank"><span style="color: #092f9d; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Solomos Solomou</span> </a>was fatally wounded by gunshots
to the head. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times;">He attempted to take down the Turkish Cypriot flag. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times;">This took place during the protests it wasn’t the only
incident to have taken place during 1996. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times;">It was my first real insight into how protest works
for the greater good; the Greek Cypriots believe that the Turkish forces do not
have a right on Greek soil. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times;">It was not the first death I had witnessed though,
however it did make me think that this person truly believed in what he was
doing. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times;">This was another reason for wanting to get into
journalism and in particularly <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">photojournalism</i>.
Witnessing events like this I felt powerless even in a UN uniform, holding a
rifle. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times;">Though I spotted many cameramen, men and women holding
cameras some 35mm others medium format documenting this event-taking place. I
remember viewing the images the following day in the newspapers. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times;">The story unfolding actually impressed me; this was my
perspective on this world. When I eventually left the UN forces, I came back to
the UK however I worked for a company in the fashion industry and really didn’t
give <a href="http://blogs.reuters.com/gbu/2011/06/30/splendid-photojournalism/" target="_blank">photojournalism</a> much thought, I still took images now and again, but
nothing worth reporting. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times;">That was until I met an Australian guy named Sean he
was adventurous and so upbeat it was hard not to like him! We became close
often going on climbing trips on our days off, I took him to places like
Brighton too. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times;">It was fabulous and this reignited my love of
photography once more, I took a couple of street shots, and met so many people.
We decided to go back there and work for the summer. Sean showed me some places
he had visited in his life, I was totally enthralled by these wonderful sights,
and he had worked his way from <a href="http://www.griffith.edu.au/visual-creative-arts/queensland-college-art/qca-enterprise/australian-photojournalist" target="_blank">Australia</a> to the UK via Thailand and India. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times;">The photographs were amazing and so too was the
diverse culture I was viewing in the images. Though it was many years before I
would go to the Asian continent I opted for the <a href="http://www.npr.org/multimedia/2009/01/frank/" target="_blank">American</a> continent instead, it
was great and I could see many people photographing the sights, but this was
not street photography. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times;">I then witnessed the <a href="http://www.joelmeyerowitz.com/photography/book_aftermath.asp" target="_blank">aftermath</a> of 9/11 when I visited
ground zero; I was almost overwhelmed with the scale of destruction that had
taken place. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times;">Seeing it on the television was almost like watching a
Hollywood movie, it did not seem real but when I found the very battered
remains of the <a href="http://blog.nj.com/njv_guest_blog/2012/08/koenig_sphere_belongs_at_world.html" target="_blank">Koenig Sphere</a> in Battery Park in 2003, it all seemed so very
obvious. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times;">Having later travelled to Asia, and gaining the
dizzying heights of the Annapurna region, of the Himalayas I came back knowing
that I wanted to photograph not just for me but for others. I wanted to become
a photojournalist. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/6PYjh8Ue7IA?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe> <span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times;">So just like in the spirit of <a href="http://www.foam.org/visit-foam/calendar/2013-exhibitions/tim-hetherington-infidel" target="_blank">Tim Hetherington</a>, I want
to make a difference the right way. The way of informing and educating people
about what is truly happening in the world raising awareness of the very fact
of war, <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/global-development/famine" target="_blank">famine</a> and disease. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Times;">This may sound all a bit grim, however that is not
what I want share, because they’re many stories out there that also come
positive from these events. Tim was a great <a href="http://donate.unhcr.org/gbr/general?gclid=CPX97e2--r8CFQgYwwodNjQAaA&gclsrc=aw.ds" target="_blank">humanitarian</a> a peoples champion and
that is the way, we should remember him. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Music Festivals
have long been the bench mark for a British Summer, it’s not just a hint that
the cold dark long days are gone for another four months it’s also an exciting
time for us to get out the summer wardrobe, don the shades put some sun screen
on and purchase the obligatory two man festival tent, that comes with enough
space to stash the dirty clothes and half empty crate of beer (you can never
have enough beer), into, while you let your half pissed girlfriend squat on
your aching shoulders for what seems like an eternity.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">However you don’t
mind that if only for a day or so, except the girlfriend is developing an
addiction to the half baked half raw horse quality burger, that seems to offer
sustenance and soak up the cider, beer or what ever she drinks these days. No
you don’t mind at all, that’s not the real reason you’re here, you’re here for
the banter, and most importantly the music.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">It’s the music
that drives us to these locations each year, year in year out. Though it’s all
worth it, you will get to see some over sized <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083642/" target="_blank">Texan Blondie</a>, whose airbags came
as standard as a bench mark for those oil rich country folk, who admire some
Li’l Ol’ sweetheart sporting the whitest glint of a smile, in that tight Barbie
Ranch Girl outfit. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">No you don’t mind
at all, because when England fail to meet their mark in the ever so boring
World Cup Tournament; you know you have the perfect excuse to go travelling to
the other side of the country and get totally muddied and yet surprisingly
happy that you are wearing those Wellington Boots from George at ASDA with the
pattern or motif on the side, that helps guide you to a similar looking tent. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Though in all
honesty apart from packing some spare underwear, lip balm and a few necessary
bottles of water and a tube of toothpaste, to freshen your alcohol infused
morning breath, what else is on offer at a festival? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Well the answer
may not surprise you at all; it seems to go with the territory not cigarettes
but drugs. It seems that every festival has them despite the organisers paying
huge sums of money for the <a href="http://donkeykong.nintendo.com/tropical-freeze/" target="_blank">Donkey-Kong</a> lookalike security with the invisible
rugs under their arms. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Yes it seems that
certain contraband works it way through, yes illegally purchased cigarettes are
high on the list as well as drugs or legal highs as they are known these days. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">They seem to be a
wholly excepted part of the culture these days when paying homage to the latest
sounds or sounds that make a one off comeback. Then you have differing forms of
festivals there is the all-rounder sell out which is <a href="http://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/" target="_blank">Glastonbury</a>, next up we
have the super club festival that offer the discerning dance music enthusiast a
whole new series of sub-genres breaking down into splinter groups which are
derived as thus hard, harder, hard and loud, harder and louder and where are my
ear muffs ‘cos my ears are bleeding. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Then we have one
off events that hope to make it back the following year if the council permits,
and of course these offer very little to the seasoned festival goer. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Which brings me
to my case in point about a new kind of festival, which is currently breaking
<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/cycling/28145639" target="_blank">Britain</a> today. This festival is generally about another cultures’ beliefs, this
being a Hindi festival. </span><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

festival is a festival of colours or festival of love.<span style="color: #424242;">
Bringing in new life and a new spring in the Hindi calendar. It is not supposed
to be a drinking, dance music festival, by tradition though music of the Indian
traditional kind is played. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #424242; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;">So when you decide to try this festival out your going on the pretence
on what has happened at other festivals, though to be honest this just isn’t
any other dance music festival, you are advised to wear white, the reasoning
behind this is so that the colours which come in perfectly packaged sachets of
coloured corn flour powder, are able to establish your undeniable origin.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #424242; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #424242; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;">It may seem like harmless fun, but you realise that when people from
other parts of the world namely New Zealand are wearing what can be best
described as a highly fluorescent snorkeling face mask and breather you begin to
feel quite alarmingly discontent. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;">Though if am honest
with myself I am thinking this could be the latest dance music festival fashion
statement and in reality I haven’t got anything to worry about in the
slightest, I keep telling myself it will all be okay. <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;">The other negative
aspect about this was the apparent singular stage, which was reminiscent of the
<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/search/?q=Kaaba" target="_blank">Kaaba Stone</a> in Mecca. Did I just cross over onto another plain…had I
transgressed into another world of religious wonder…err no. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;">Over the tannoy of the
loudspeaker system, I could clearly hear the common expletive ‘fuck’; this
would not be considered as being diversely sensitive and respectful to another
person beliefs. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;">Then my thoughts seem
to focus on the ever-growing small crowd, which is trying in vain to avoid the
now light shower of rain normally, experienced in April. We are perched under a
small marquee barely big enough to cover a hundred people let alone the 2,000
souls who have updated their social media status by you guessed it employing
the universally known liking symbol into their daily language, that and
employing the old scissors / peace symbol <a href="http://thestir.cafemom.com/teen/150205/12_hand_signals_your_teen" target="_blank">gesture</a>, which is meant to imply
peace or so they think. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;">To myself it means
something of a sexual or gang land nature, next time you see that gesture with
the hands just remember that seemingly similarity to either holding a gun or
pleasuring your girlfriend, you will definitely think more laterally.<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;">The positive side to
all of this was the overwhelming gathering of female to male ratio, the guys
were outnumbered 6/1 at one point then that increased as the day wore on. So
what does that mean in the <a href="http://davidrothwellphotography.co.uk/" target="_blank">demographics</a>? This particular event was more
appealing to a female audience then male? Quite possibly the musical taste was
not to every one’s delight, though I recognised a few tunes, I mainly
concentrated on capturing images of the people at the event. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;">They were a great
bunch, and after a few beers more and more of those females were approaching my
stealth like gait, in the hope of getting a ‘groupie snap’, I duly obliged some
of these ladies were quite full on, which in retrospect did make me smile the
reason was simple, I love confident women. I like that a woman can be confident
and be happy in the surroundings where she may be. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;">This was getting interesting
now, because it seemed that what we all came for, was beginning to take place
in a field of sorts. The irony of it all was a security guard played by non
other than a Yorkshire man dressed as a gardener, acting like a security guard
played by a Liverpudlian resembling cricketer Phil Tufnell. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

more outrageous as the day wore on, we began to get in to a rhythm of every two
hours it was powder time! Or Holi One time, though I did overhear a few blokes
exclaiming <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Holi Shit! Holi Shit! </i><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Every time our </span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1a1a1a; line-height: 115%;">compère</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"> hostess called us up, yes the girl who
actually served me merchandise was the one who actually graced the stage to
implore us to get to our feet, colourful powder in one hand; Altern8 mask in
the other. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;">It was dreadful to the
extreme the powder hardly being ejected into the air as the ‘girly throw’
barely made it past gravity, instead nonchalantly people did the task while
supping a beer or guzzling the wine from a bottle, and emptying the contents of
said colourful sachet into ones face. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;">Hardly the elegant
manner in which I hoped the powder would be ejected, still none the less; all
had a great time. I began to favour this event due to the proximity of the
event to the place of my childhood; we were after all partying in Stanley Park,
Liverpool. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 115%;">This sort of made all
the effort all the more worth it, I was smiling wryly and realising that I
would have to make my way home with others against a setting sun, covered head
to toe in coloured corn flour, in the name of Holi One! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
What light source do you prefer to use? </span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">They're many light sources we can use as a photographer, some of these methods can be implemented outdoors too, especially if you are shooting with a crew or other students. This list can be used for all situations and they can be combined too. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If say for example your a street photographer and you have been asked to shoot a friend or family members wedding or particular event and they want to mark that event with a series of shots, what do you go for?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">You can be as creative as you want; take a look at this example: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mitch88/6858362670/" target="_blank">natural light source.</a> The higher perspective ensures the shadow created by the natural light is equal to the subject standing vertically it is perpendicular to the subject and so a shadow is cast as a right angle. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The shadow side of the person is the defining side and also the slimming side, so when shooting a model against window light, turn the body away and turn the face toward the light. The model female or male will automatically look slimmer by definition by playing 'with' the light and the shadow.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So you can imagine how the model would look if he or she were facing the window the light would fill the features on the face or torso and make the shape look fuller, so by turning the subject slightly away from the light and turning face back slightly you emphasise more definition.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I have compiled the list for you below, what I will do is make a shot list from this list and show these examples for you to learn from along with corresponding lighting diagram.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
The list:</span></h3>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Artificial Light } Off/On Camera flash / LED / Candle Light / Head-torch etc</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Back Light } Continuous Light / Sunlight / Car Headlights </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Candle Light</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Continuous Light</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">LED } Video / Bicycle Lights / Car Headlights </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Off Camera Flash</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">On Camera Flash </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Open Shade</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Sunlight / Natural Light</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Translucent / Reflectors Diffusers</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Video Light</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Window Light </span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So we can see that they're many light sources for photography in a studio which could be set up for indoor or outdoor use. Question is which suits your style of photography best, well if you're a street photographer than you could play with the shadows under bridges, or high rise buildings. Street photographers will make the best use of the light they have which is in abundance, the light from the sun. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; text-align: left;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hAYId4lMaho/U4JUcMYQbUI/AAAAAAAABWc/rHB3lglH9Yw/s1600/tumblr_mdp11iHhA31qeg95lo1_1280.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><img alt="Ray K. Metzker Bus Station, Albuquerque, New Mexico, 1971." border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hAYId4lMaho/U4JUcMYQbUI/AAAAAAAABWc/rHB3lglH9Yw/s1600/tumblr_mdp11iHhA31qeg95lo1_1280.jpg" height="217" title="Ray K. Metzker" width="320" /></span></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">©Ray K. Metzker</span></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Another aspect to this is the fact that at different times of the day, the sun will give greater shadows at certain points, so you could shoot in the style of Harry Callahan or Ray K. Metzker. Here is a shot from Ray K. Metzker to give you an idea of what he could do with the light he had. It's pretty awesome when you realise this is street photography, no soft box or off camera flash here. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So what about shooting outdoors with an off camera flash? Well we know of a couple of photographers who do just that, one <a href="https://www.brucegilden.com/" target="_blank">Bruce Gilden</a> is a definite who almost exclusively captures the unique perspective of people in everyday places, </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">particularly on the streets of New York. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Another photographer is British born Dougie Wallace, a prolific photographer who enjoys getting up just as close as Gilden to his subjects, though to be honest <a href="http://www.dougiewallace.com/" target="_blank">Glasweegee </a>, as he is also known loves capturing the characteristics of his subjects with vibrant colour and also at night. This unique take on urban life, is at first startling to the relative newcomer, however when one looks closer, you begin to see those subtle hints at what makes us human. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We begin to see ourselves in a new light, and talking of light we should look at ourselves under studio light. After all, that is the sole topic of this post to look at varying light sources. Let us look at a light source such as a redhead, or continous light source. Redhead so called because that is the light that the head is actually red. Where as a blonde is so called because of the yellowish light it emits, blondes are generally more powerful as much as 2000 watts, the bigger sister if you will. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">You can create many styles of portraiture using both lights, the only piece that will need regular maintenance is the buld itself, and the fuse. The downside to using these <a href="http://www.jiscdigitalmedia.ac.uk/infokit/video-creation/lights-and-light-stands" target="_blank">incandescent </a>lights is the fact that they do get HOT! So hot that it can be a hindrance, to working with them for too long a time period. So the alternative is flourescent lights, a cooler light and so too is the light that is emitted from them. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 21px;">Fluorescent lights have the big advantage over incandescents of not being significantly hot. Modern fluorescents can be purchased with bulbs which match either incandescent light or daylight. Since most units have at least 2 bulbs and often more, the loss of a bulb doesn’t necessarily put it out of action. A 220W fluorescent (which is claimed to be the equivalent of a 100W incandescent) costs in the area of £500. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;">This image was captured just using a single </span><span style="line-height: 21px;">light source I iused a redhead on this shot, I was for intents and purposes recreating a similar style to that of the late photographer <a href="http://iulichka.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/herb-ritts-photographer-with-own-style.html" target="_blank">Herb Ritts</a> Okay my subject has a top hat, of sorts and the photograph of the actor Jim Carrey in <i>Herb Ritts </i>photograph is not wearing a hat at all. </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21px;">What this photograph says is that the personality of the individual is shining through onto lens. I like using redheads though because they're extremely portable, they are great lights to work with. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21px;">They can produce a strong bright light to create a strong shadow such as the one in this example if only using a single light. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">T</span>hough am using that title, a lot of people will think I am talking about the past masters whom I have mentioned before such as <a href="http://www.moma.org/collection/artist.php?artist_id=4975" target="_blank">Aleksandr Rodchenko</a> or <a href="http://www.moma.org/collection/artist.php?artist_id=1573" target="_blank">Robert Doisneau</a>, no I am talking about a little known photographer, whom I happened to have had the opportunity of viewing their work.<br />
<br />
This photographer is all about playing with the shadows and the light, using the emphasis on shadow to exploit the light, much the same way as <a href="http://fraenkelgallery.com/artists/lee-friedlander" target="_blank">Lee Friedlander</a> used everyday objects to frame his subject matter.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.gallery51.com/index.php?navigatieid=9&fotograafid=114" target="_blank">Ray K. Metzker</a> is one of photography's greatest innovators he uses black & white photography to its greatest potential, okay admittedly we have spoken about those photographer's who used colour to exploit shapes, light, tones and composition to great effect. However when you look at the work of Ray Metzker, he certainly makes you think outside the box in much the same way as Rodchenko thought about geometry, shapes and composition.<br />
<br />
After all photography was always thought of as an art form by those who had gone before (<i>Edward Steichen) </i>to put a name to one who vehemently always championed that cause for photography to be recognised as an art form.<br />
<br />
When I first viewed the work of Ray Metzker, I then understood the lesser liked handle "<i>street photography", </i>as opposed to social documentary. Granted there are those who refuse to accept that term or classification of this photographic art form. Some feel it is not right, however look at the work of <a href="http://www.gallery51.com/index.php?navigatieid=9&fotograafid=114" target="_blank">Ray K. Metzker</a> then think otherwise.<br />
<br />
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kDqGxSFhU40/UzjBKCyGudI/AAAAAAAABUs/Hh8fvPGfFYw/s3200/metzker_main.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="metzker_main" border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kDqGxSFhU40/UzjBKCyGudI/AAAAAAAABUs/Hh8fvPGfFYw/s3200/metzker_main.jpg" height="320" title="" width="315" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">©Ray K. Metzker</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
His work is not so much social documentary but an exercise in why we should all look at the world, from a different perspective; his framing is incredible. Yes, he is using multiple exposures, he is manipulating the negative, and he is creating art from several elements of his own works, to create another.<br />
<br />
I found his work truly inspiring, then it struck me, where have I seen this style in composition before?<br />
<br />
The answer lead me back to <a href="http://www.magnumphotos.com/C.aspx?VP3=CMS3&VF=MAGO31_10_VForm&ERID=24KL53ZMYN" target="_blank">Henri Cartier-Bresson</a> I was not in the least dumbstruck, in fact I could see why. The reason I could, was actually through another photographer, namely Harry Callahan another multiple exposure aficionado.<br />
<br />
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-q6-DTrrlXQM/UzmHOwVJcWI/AAAAAAAABU8/rATJ_zzhw_Y/s3200/54dd36f42aa03d9dcaad109ceb0be9e2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-q6-DTrrlXQM/UzmHOwVJcWI/AAAAAAAABU8/rATJ_zzhw_Y/s3200/54dd36f42aa03d9dcaad109ceb0be9e2.jpg" title="Harry Callahan" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">©Harry Callahan</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
That then got me thinking looking at his work and almost recognising the elements of a <a href="http://www.dptips-central.com/henry-cartier-bresson.html" target="_blank"> Henri Cartier-Bresson</a> photograph. I realised that studying photography was not just about reading techniques or how to do this or that, it is also about learning to see what is in the photograph. Here we can that the play on the double exposure is a truly unique aspect to Harry Callahan's photographic interpretation of a row of buildings.<br />
<br />
I had seen this compositional imprint before as I had said earlier, which tells me something about myself, that is to say am beginning to recognise those key elements of composition from certain photographers, and were their inspiration comes from or who they draw their inspiration from in particular.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Reading the signs</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So there it is for all to see, once we do see then we will begin to see it in everything day things, you look at the world from a new perspective, as though you were being born to a new world, where what had gone before was nothing as it seemed. You begin to see differently. </div>
<div>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; text-align: left;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dfcNIIikY9I/UzmKT8poGrI/AAAAAAAABVI/jIEaIgFJPBw/s3200/1_lg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Henri Cartier-Bresson" border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dfcNIIikY9I/UzmKT8poGrI/AAAAAAAABVI/jIEaIgFJPBw/s3200/1_lg.jpg" height="213" title="Alicante" width="320" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">©Henri Cartier-Bresson</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
</div>
<div>
In this early photograph from Henri Cartier-Bresson, look at the centre of the frame, in fact all the way through the middle of the photograph we see the zig-zag cutting through the photograph in much the same way that Callahan has applied his double exposure in his work. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Shapes and linear aspect in composition can really make your photography sing to the viewer. You can now get an idea of how to interpret these shapes or shadows into your own work. So I decided to shoot a roll of <a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/24744-REG/Ilford_1574577_HP5_Plus_135_36_Black.html" target="_blank">ISO 400 BW Film</a> in my local city centre, keeping my eyes open for shadows or some kind of play on light that was available, I managed to find a few photographs that I may possibly use multiple exposure in creating a montage of photographs with multiple negatives. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I will post them when I have collated enough images am happy with to post for such a post on this blog. </div>

I find it really useful to ignore some social media sites in favour of a couple of books or <a href="http://www.openeye.org.uk/events/monthly-exhibition-tour/" target="_blank">exhibitions</a> showcasing some very interesting and educational photographic work. Sometimes I swap and change my film moving from Ilford to <a href="http://www.retrophotosupplies.com/shop.php?category=135+%2835mm%29+Film&shopid=02111201" target="_blank">Agfa</a> film. I find Agfa film is great for pushing, the very fine grain film, which am sure is ADOX film repackaged (Don't quote me on that). Has a very tight grain structure, and so this makes for some great experimentation in camera. Of course when pushing or <a href="http://www.guidetofilmphotography.com/pushing-pulling-film.html" target="_blank">pulling film</a>, then develop the whole roll as so. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In this frame we can see I used the light reflected in the shop window to frame the figure or silhouette in the background, also the guy in the left of the frame with his leg angled towards the ground forces you to view the linear rays of light, he also acts as an anchor in the frame, with his shape seemingly breaking up this very linear composition. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Another aspect to my photography is this, I enjoy watching videos on the subject, rather namely numerous videos on the <a href="http://theartofphotography.tv/" target="_blank">art of photography</a>. This show is born of the passion of one Ted Forbes a passionate photographer who enjoys shooting black & white, and incorporating the work of master photographers, such as <a href="http://theartofphotography.tv/episodes/179-vivian-maier/" target="_blank">Vivian Maier</a>. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Conclusion</h3>
<div>
So by viewing the work of master photographers, we begin to see hints to who inspired whom, and repitition in patterns, composition, linear, curves, shapes, tone etc.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
May be you could try iimplementing some styles or influences of other photographers into your own work, not be a copycat but to give you some idea, of what it is like to photograph in a certain way. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Until the next time, </div>

street photography, since the colour medium began in the early 1930s,

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit;">Photographers like of those pioneering the medium, <a href="http://www.egglestontrust.com/"><span style="color: blue; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">William Eggleston</span></a>, <a href="http://fredherzog.com/"><span style="color: blue; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Fred Herzog</span></a><span style="color: blue;"> </span>and
<a href="http://watch.innogreathurry.com/"><span style="color: blue; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Saul Leiter</span></a>. Yes, there were others too that
would eventually follow in their footsteps. However these main three were
pushing the envelope on composition, that would incorporate abstract, linear,
shapes, texture and in the case of Eggleston the subject matter itself, would
become his landmark identifier. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;">In the case of Leiter, we
see a lot of the subject matter being a singularity, a single colour influence
such as his work ‘<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Pink Umbrella</i>’ one
of a series of works centred on an inanimate object sometimes within a pattern
perspective or as a stand-alone piece. Leiter went on to produce some of his
outstanding works from an abstract perspective, they really are inspiring works
of art, that make you feel connected to the subject matter. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;">Looking at a person
standing outside a steamy window during the rainfall, or a traffic signal or
even a person sitting in a car, as Eggleston has also captured someone in that
similar style. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

you was this incredible mass of colour created by Fred Herzog. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;">The reason for this is simply because to me, the work is like no other photographer I have seen before, the colour and the layering involved really does make you think, laterally. The works are like puzzles, the reason for this during this era; 1950s, 60s most photographers who were shooting models were still using monochromatic film, for advertising purposes. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%;">Colour features in magazines were quite pricey, and if this was not in your budget then black and white photography was still the way to go unless, colour was called for. Hence the style of photography of Eggleston, the subjects may not have been composed in such a dramatic aspect like a typical model shoot. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;">The layers of orange in this composition are resplendent of a sunburst that is so striking, the colour literally jumps out at you. The other aspect to the photograph is how Herzog leads your eye into the photograph, the anchor point is the orange store point and the triangle imposed using the windows, then your eyes move down and towards the fore of the photograph. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;">The blue store front, forces your eyes to the left, incredible viewing but this is how Herzog wants you to view the photograph. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;">Intelligent composition, I am sure you'll agree. Though the photograph does not depict every colour of the rainbow, it does cover a broad range, and this is what keeps your interest in the work. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;">It takes me back to those early days of colour flip charts you remember as a child with the numbers, this is how I perceive the work. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;">It is well worth remembering that point too, it is important to know how a photograph makes you or others feel. Eggleston is known taking or rather making photographs of the banal. Most of his photographs have a deep understanding of his origin, his place of being and his very existence. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;">For an outsider such as myself or you who is not native to the area of <a href="http://www.memphistravel.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Memphis</span></a>, then the place may seem rather boring, that is obvious. However for someone who thrives on the unoriginal style of photography, then photographing the obvious is beautifully <a href="http://www.topphotographyfilms.com/famous-photographers/william-eggleston/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">banal</span></a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">What I mean by that statement is be mindful of your own </span><span style="line-height: 18px;">style and technique, develop your own style; and do so with the utmost confidence. After all we are all on a learning curve, there are no rosettes for following someone elses' style, so work on your own, be influenced by these past masters and create something anew which is original in execution, as it is with the passion you have to create it. </span></span><br />

<span style="line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The image here is something which has been photographed by myself and yet done with the passion, and influence of all three afore mentioned photographers. That is to say it has been captured with the belief that this is art. The photograph shows a damp day, road works, vibrant colour of red, and amidst the dark and dank interior of the truck, we see the lush green colour of artificial turf and then the punctum in all of this is the yellow glow of the petals of the Daffodils placed atop the artificial turf. </span></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">Why was this? I spotted this scene walking down towards another objective, and from the corner of my<span style="color: blue;"> </span></span><span style="color: blue;"><a href="http://www.exploratorium.edu/snacks/peripheral_vision/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">peripheral</span></a> </span>vision; I glanced this deep yellow of those petals. Whilst the empty fluid container mirrors the white graffiti signage in the deep red wall, this was a mass of beautiful colour. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I had learned that when exclusively shooting in black and white, then when you begin to notice that certain colours, will make for a better monochromatic photograph, the colours begin to 'pop'. I shot this on digital using my<span style="color: blue;"> <a href="http://www.canon.co.uk/For_Home/Product_Finder/Cameras/Digital_SLR/EOS_60D/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Canon EOS 60D</span></a> </span>not my usual camera for shooting street photography granted, though I was happy to get the shot by all accounts. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"></span>I feel this photograph makes a bold statement to probably many critics out there, it looks like a boring photograph, yet it is quite banal, and by that definition it is original in its concept, I took one shot of this scene, no more was needed. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">That being said was there any other way of improving this photograph? Not from my perspective, the vehicle was about to move, I only had one chance to get this right, the photograph is very much in focus, the exposure is maybe half a stop under for what it should be. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">That works for me though, otherwise the dark and dank truck interior being too bright, may detract from the bright yellow petals, and thus the emphasis on those flowers is lost. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So whenever you are out walking the street, keep your eyes open for the less exciting, banal shots. They may seem like a boring photograph, but you never know, that is what the art world may be crying out for. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Until the next time...</span><br />

Layering</h2>
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I</span> posted a subject for street photographer's that all street photographer's should be implementing into their own work, the technique of layering. As the technique should suggest we are not talking photoshop here, we are talking about layering in the photograph, within the frame.<br />
<br />
We use subjects at differing points within the frame to do this layering, so for example by using shapes too, such as circles, ovals, lines and triangles we can make points in the photograph 'pop'.<br />
<br />
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; text-align: left;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SedIqZ-CiRc/Uv-kxcQzF8I/AAAAAAAABSs/YcI5ji4MXGU/s1600/8671410097_7f481d181d.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SedIqZ-CiRc/Uv-kxcQzF8I/AAAAAAAABSs/YcI5ji4MXGU/s1600/8671410097_7f481d181d.jpg" height="215" width="320" /></a></td></tr>

</tbody></table>
We want the viewer to have an interest in the photograph, and we want the photograph to be a photograph not just a picture. Here is a link to a couple of examples I have shot <a href="http://aclickeveryday.blogspot.co.uk/p/gallery.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">myself</span></a> in the examples shown on my gallery page, we can see how shapes and lines play an important part in composition.<br />
<br />
Here is another photograph which shows how shapes, lines etc can play an enormous part in street photography. In this shot we see how the NYC Photographer <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/en321/8671410097/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Susan Sermoneta</span></a> has used the imposed constructed linear lines to frame and shape the photograph, with the subject matter being almost entirely in the lower third of the frame. The colour too has played an important part in the photograph the overhead lamp acting as an anchor point forces the viewer to see the person descending the stairwell in the photograph.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Colour</h3>
<div>
Colour or color depending on which side of the pond you are from, plays an important part in the layering technique street photographer's use today, however before colour was introduced circa early 1930s by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_photography#Color_film_since_the_1930s" target="_blank">Kodak</a> Photographers used monochromatic film, so photographers were careful what they shot and became much more dependent on framing and compositing an image to be able to make a photograph. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So here is another example of linear photography within street photography not too dissimilar from the photograph shown above, I have used the linear technique that should make the photograph interesting. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EHjCbcq4Kdk/Uv-qBpAdmTI/AAAAAAAABS8/WvdDJ5qJWJc/s1600/Ascending-Escalalator.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EHjCbcq4Kdk/Uv-qBpAdmTI/AAAAAAAABS8/WvdDJ5qJWJc/s1600/Ascending-Escalalator.jpg" height="208" width="320" /></a></td></tr>

<div>
The lines take you the right of the frame, and that is were the main interest lies. This being a monochromatic shot, I have used the framed pictures on the left of the frame to lead you into and around the photograph, the people act as an anchor point to force your eyes back and out of the frame. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The angle makes the photograph very interesting too, I am shooting from a higher perspective, rather than just a shot from eye level horizon. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
One photographer who I have mentioned before who shoots black & white photography, and uses a particular technique in layering that frames the subjects and makes them 'pop' more effectively. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Lee Friedlander</h3>
<div>
A fantastic photographer who developed a very unique style of framing subjects to make his works much more interesting and abstract. His works inspired other photographers including <a href="http://www.masters-of-photography.com/W/winogrand/winogrand_park_avenue_full.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Garry Winogrand</span></a></div>
<br />
What Friedlander does is to make the photographer become open to suggestion; to interpret the subject and make it his own, and then transcend the medium to make it evolve. Abstract painting had been a movement in the 1930s with surrealist painters like Dali, Picasso and Man Ray.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://whitney.org/Exhibitions/LeeFriedlander" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Lee Friedlander</span></a> makes the viewer not just look but listen, that is how I perceive his work. The tempo in the composition is often changing, forcing the viewer to move across the frame and learn what is being said, and force you to question what is being conveyed by the photographer.<br />
<br />
An exceptional photographer who for the most part enjoyed shooting photographs from the hip, or the car or even a hotel room. Many lessons can be learned form the afore mentioned photographer's their individual styles differ, but the passion for life on the street far outweighs anything shot in the studio.<br />
<br />
With Street photography comes the harsh reality that not everyone will like your work, not everyone will understand the message being conveyed or what the photographer wants you to see, so it is important to make your work interesting using various techniques or a combination of those techniques, to do that is view photographer's works at galleries or even better the books they have created themselves.<br />
<br />
If you like certain photographer's then take a closer look at their work, how do they frame the works, how do they convey a message, do they use colour? Do they use colour, what shapes, tempo etc.<br />
<br />
This is what you should be looking for when viewing other photographer's works, so if you follow photojournalism or street photography, take a closer look at the method they employ.<br />
<br />
So if you live in a city have a look what's happening at your local museum or gallery to see what works are currently being exhibited. One thing I almost try to do when shooting street is to keep an eye out for other street photographer's; what are they shooting, etc. I tend to stay away from someone using a telephoto lens such as 55-200mm or 70-300mm this is not what street photography is about.<br />
<br />
I have seen some photographer's just using a small compact camera, this I love because it forces you to get in closer. You have to concentrate on framing the subject matter, someone who uses a zoom/telephoto lens just wants to stay away from their subject matter, not get involved and to be honest using that focal length flattens the photograph.<br />
<br />
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-V_h7VfXat50/Uv_DrGb2qWI/AAAAAAAABTM/PaLmfRyBtQI/s1600/_MG_2482.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-V_h7VfXat50/Uv_DrGb2qWI/AAAAAAAABTM/PaLmfRyBtQI/s1600/_MG_2482.jpg" height="274" width="320" /></a></td></tr>

</tbody></table>
It is a bit like being a stalker not very nice at all, using a wide angle forces you to engage with your subject matter, strike up conversation, get in close, they will warm to you.<br />
<br />
The example left shows how warming, the subject was she had spotted me, I had actually smiled back and turned around as I passed through them in conversation, I just about face and captured this. The symmetry in the hands is almost identical to her friends in the foreground.<br />
<br />
What I like about this photograph is the sudden burst of colour just left of centre, then we have guy just farther left of frame, this is what makes the photograph a little more interesting, he is asking what is going on? This is by all accounts a very tight composition, but that is what street photographers aim for.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Framing</h3>
<div>
So we have touched on briefly an American photographer who used framing to such an extent to make his work more abstract, more out there. Always be on the look out for the strange coincidences of gestures especially the hands. This sort of brings me on to another point, be mindful of your own hands too. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When using primes it's easy to suddenly play with the aperture ring, or the focusing ring on the lens. Always be alert to sudden jerky movements for example a person passing by, or bumped into by a woman pushing a pram or a child running into your legs. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I try to use linear objects to frame my subjects or you could try using people themselves for framing and that way you would also be implementing layering into your work.<br />
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-eCk5jX01ma0/Uv_J1xq-R8I/AAAAAAAABTc/4Pjoc6K3BpQ/s1600/Mirror.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-eCk5jX01ma0/Uv_J1xq-R8I/AAAAAAAABTc/4Pjoc6K3BpQ/s1600/Mirror.jpg" height="234" width="320" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">©David Rothwell Photography 2014</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
</div>
<br />
In this example we can see how the person in the foreground forces your eyes to follow the line through the photograph, even the shopping trolleys in the far right of the frame offer the viewer the direction in which to go.<br />
<br />
My only complaint about this is how the subjects are stretched across the frame, for myself personally I would have liked this a lot tighter.<br />
<br />
So by that lesson we can focus on crowds to capture, post christmas shopping we don't see many crowds out there.<br />
<br />
So be wise in what you capture.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">S</span>aul Leiter was one of many early photographers who was also a painter, he learned his compositional craft at the easel with a brush and knife. Colleagues later urging him to get into photography, he was like <a href="http://www.egglestontrust.com/" target="_blank">William Eggleston</a> a colourist.<br />
<br />
He extensively used black & white film when he first got into photography and for most of his commercial work used that medium. However for much of his personal work, he shows an interest in colour. He uses the colour with such intellect that the photographs seemingly pop out like a montage, some offer a surreal view of the world, and give the viewer an abstract perspective.<br />
<br />
Subtle nuances of red and yellow feature highly in his works, some of the works show shop fronts beings used as reflectors to create such pieces. Something of which inspired <a href="http://fraenkelgallery.com/artists/lee-friedlander" target="_blank">Lee Friedlander</a> with his unique framing technique, though most of his works are extensively shot in monochrome.<br />

Sadly this great past master of photography passed away, a week shy of his ninetieth birthday last November (2013). A year before his death though a film maker namely Tomas Leach created a warm and intimate view into this fascinating photographer, the film was titled <a href="http://www.innogreathurry.com/InNoGreatHurry/Synopsis.html" target="_blank">In No Great Hurry</a> and shows the aspiring artist how this photographer operated, his vision, and how his works inform and set a major bench mark for aspiring colourists using that medium of film.<br />
<br />
I have read the reviews of the film, and I was very impressed in the way that the film has been received.<br />
<br />
Reviews from New York Times and the <a href="http://www.thejewishweek.com/arts/film/unorthodox-filmmaking" target="_blank">Jewish Week</a> online, so read the reviews of the film, I am sure you will be impressed by the films reception.<br />

</tbody></table>
For now though let's discuss more of his work, Leiter had his own unique perspective on Manhattan. It shows greatly how this photographer was thinking literally outside the box, one such photograph is that most people will relate to is that of the singular colour of red in the photograph 'Red Umbrella' Circa 1958. It shows amazing skill with colour to be able to single out a scene and compose a truly inspirational piece which is timeless.<br />
<br />
Leiter had learnt how to isolate colour in this medium and to frame the photograph with the colour. This piece is a fantastic example of his early colour works, however when you move forward the pieces became much more avant garde, and the framing much more abstract.<br />
<br />
The works would feature much more complex compositional points of interest; working with linear, shapes, curves and depth of field. Something of which some street photographers try to imitate with people, not so much colour but certainly using people in interesting positions to anchor a part of the frame.<br />
<br />
This is what every street photographer should be aiming for, I myself should be doing this to such a great extent. I like playing with shapes, and perhaps this is one project I should begin to work on. Playing with shapes is certainly one aspect of Saul Leiter, to learn from.<br />
<br />
I have posted a link to the pages of interest, so that you too can investigate and hopefully learn from and inject that learning curve into your own interpretation of street photography. One thing I have learned is that everyone is different, we all have our own unique way of seeing the world.<br />
<br />
Saul Leiter has his perspective, and created magnificent and intriguing timeless pieces for us all to enjoy for generations to come.<br />
<br />
Until the next time, bye for now.<br />

Welcome once again to another interesting post on <i>A Click A Day</i>, many photographer's out there who may be starting out in this competitive but fickle world of art and reproduction, are wondering where best to upload my photographic works, what are the benefits of the sites out there?<br />
<br />
I know some of you use <a href="http://www.photoshelter.com/" target="_blank">Photoshelter</a> to publish your work some of you use the site because of the SEO tools and their Beam platform. SEO tools are important for search engine optimisation to market your works out there by using certain key phrases, so that people such as illustrators or graphic designers who don't have the time to produce a photograph can search through a plethora of photographs that cover certain subject matter, and if that work has a certain working license such as creative commons, can be used for those purposes by another.<br />
<br />
The other aspect about Photoshelter is they offer a secure cloud storage, in context this is a great idea however, in practice it is not. The reason why is how secure is their storage, are the servers they use always going to run okay? Are they backed up on a disc elsewhere thousands of miles away in a secret shed in an Antarctica? Probably not but you get the idea, I always use a back-up drive for my works, to be sure.<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Redbubble</h4>
<div>
I have used <span style="color: blue;"><a href="http://www.redbubble.com/" target="_blank">Redbubble</a> </span>myself for some time, I have sold works through the site, have I seen any commission? No not at all, the reason for this is the item purchased, were bought as a small item rather than the photographic work itself. Which quite frankly pissed me off a bit, someone likes the work, but they do not want to commit to purchasing a bigger piece. One that could fill say a 16"x20" frame would be nice. The commission is like <a href="http://www.gettyimages.co.uk/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Getty Images</span></a> fairly low roughly 20-30 percent commission. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
The Pros</h4>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
What I do like about Redbubble is the fact that you can turn your work into illustration which can be placed upon other media, such as a T-shirt, a Hoodie great for this time of year. They also make stickers, which to be honest I couldn't see my street works being sold as a sticker. I like things big, in fact the bigger the better. That is why when I print my stuff I use proper photographic paper, it is the only way to make a work that is great become much better. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Presentation is key in this business, so if the work is presented in such a style that I make an investment of $50 - $250 to get the work printed I want a greater return on my investment. My investment is key to my success, which brings me to another point of view and another website community. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
The Cons</h4>
<div>
A great photo community should be a creative hub, one that defines itself by sharing ideas, intellect and passion for the art. One that offers great advice to up and coming artists and one that should stick together and fight for what they believe in. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The site I am referring to is <a href="http://500px.com/flow" target="_blank">500px</a> don't get me wrong it is a large hub of creativity featuring some of the worlds best unknown photographers, though some do very well from it. </div>
<div>
Recently 500px decided to launch a new way of purchasing / selling photographic works on the site, they opted to give this new service a title <i>Prime. </i>Not too sure if this in relation to priming the user for another service they could be launching at a later date or if this is transformer based, if you pardon the pun. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In reality though it does seem the latter, and like some gargantuan mechanical fist, laden with the very negative news of the hypocritical rate of commission for selling your photographs of offering the user 30% commission just smacks of disrespect to the very users, for which the site should be truly thankful to its success. Have decided to throw down a gauntlet, that gauntlet though has been met with some very strong opposition (myself included). </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have decided to post a link to the site and the comments, if you are a member you can get involved and post your comment too. <a href="http://500px.com/blog/998/introducing-500px-prime/#comments" target="_blank">Comment on this</a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you would like to go farther you can get in touch with Dustin on the site: <a href="mailto:dustin@500px.com" target="_blank">500px/Prime</a> </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Photographers are not here to only receive 30% commission of their work, this is wrong on so many levels. Which does lead me to the point of how and why <a href="http://www.magnumphotos.com/" target="_blank">Magnum Photos</a> was set up by those past master photographers, who put up a fight against the editors who were cropping their works for publication. So the message in their respective photographs would be misconstrued, or the interpretation was wrong. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Magnum photos was set up for that very purpose, by photographers for photographers, it may be once again, that we now find the 'digital set' perhaps taking stock of what they want from the photography world, and how the media should be used. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Until the next time, </div>
<div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">W</span>ell if you already know about the recent overhaul of the social media site <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/michael-stutz/flickr-redesign_b_3405086.html" target="_blank">Flickr</a>, the article posted by Michael Stutz, points out how the long paying member (I am one of those) has been for intents and purpose been left out in the cold; literally.<br />
<br />
It seems those in the ivory towers of <a href="http://www.change.org/petitions/yahoo-bring-back-the-old-version-of-yahoo-mail" target="_blank">Yahoo</a> have decided not just to change the formatting of the site, but to actually replace it with the one Terabyte gimmick, to get the unknowing and certainly unwitting social media user to shift towards the 'new look' Flickr.<br />
<br />
For the past twelve months or so I have received intermittent emails from BTYahoo of the changes being made, I actually purchase my broadband from these guys! Though the changes seemed to have locked me out of my account and suggested I set up another in favour of the spectacular new enforced changes.<br />
<br />
Admittedly the only welcome change is the fact that this will do away with those who set up groups to post animated stickers that quite frankly are reminiscent of a refrigerator door in the kitchen. No use to anyone who posts photographic works seriously, though putting that point aside this is exactly what Flickr have done in redesigning the site, they have forced the hand of the photographer.<br />
<br />
The site is now geared towards mobile users instead of someone who may actually be using a laptop or a macbook. The works you post are now generated along with others in this melee of a digital grid, no longer appealing and seemingly lost, amongst works which by all accounts although seem to be taken with a camera are not instead the mobile user has downloaded some filter and applied to a poorly composed happy snap, and called it arty.<br />
<br />
In one way I am lucky that yes, I am using the site as <a href="https://www.backupwith.me/" target="_blank">back-up</a>, for in reality that is all it is worth for myself, another on-line back-up service.<br />
<br />
It seems now that gone are the days when Professional and amateurs alike used the site and received like for like appreciation, and constructive criticism which I welcomed openly. So what about petitioning against these changes, well there is such a page, were by you can voice your opinion by clicking the <a href="http://www.change.org/petitions/yahoo-bring-back-the-old-version-of-yahoo-mail" target="_blank">link</a> and getting your name down.<br />
<br />
Of course if you are not really savvy with technology, and don't take an avid interest in reading the <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/" target="_blank">Huffington Post</a> then this page is not for you either...No, no comeback! Oh okay you want to stay, well I tell you what for those who already pay, I will give you one Terabyte free...except if you want to post HD Video you will have to pay MORE.<br />
<br />
This is what really smacks of disrespect in my book, the long standing devotees to Flickr who were in fact already paying and are seemingly going to be forced to pay more, you track those necessary stats for feedback.<br />
<br />
My advice is this set up your own page as I have and use the social media, to inform your friends and colleagues and <i>followers</i>, where you have gone. It's important to get your plans down and focus on your strengths in photography, what images have worked for example Landscape, Portraiture, Reportage etc.<br />
<br />
You can then mould your page around your images, set up various pages, as I have done here and build on that success. Unless you're really going to post HD video then I would suggest looking at this site, were upon like minded individuals will give great <a href="http://vimeo.com/upgrade1v?utm_source=search&utm_medium=bing-upgrade1-brand_vimeo_alone_vimeo_exact-uk&utm_campaign=1791&utm_term=vimeo&dclid=CKKnueHVqLwCFVRHfAodQGsAqg" target="_blank">critique</a>, no ads, no clutter.<br />
<br />
And guess what it's a social site were people chat to each other, and not get lost in the melee of non- descript, digital kaleidoscope of colour mess, and the odd <i>hello! </i>in what ever language, they choose.<br />
<br />
Why oh why?<br />
<br />
It's great to know what language you will never use in your life, I don't mind that except it seems really dumb to me, if I cannot speak the language, then why am I going to ever consider conversing in one word syllables like an over excited African Grey, why not opt for a twerking approach?<br />
<br />
Only kidding...<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://www.kujaja.com/" target="_blank">Kujaja</a> </h3>
<div>
So what other social media sites are out there for photographers? Well if you're a regular follower of my page, you will know that I regularly post onto another fantastic photography site, namely <a href="http://kujaja.com/">Kujaja.com</a> It is a superb photo-community, they post and give feedback and have regular updates and competitions for professionals and aspiring amateur photographers alike. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/kujaja.group/?fref=ts" target="_blank">competitions</a> range from landscape, to reportage, to natural history and anything else you can think that is an exciting way to get into photography, I have played a great part in being active on this site, the people are very welcoming, and will give great advice and feedback on the photographs you post. </div>
<br />
What better way to see the world than through the eyes of like minded photographers from around the globe, these images are from around the world, which brings me back to the post I made earlier regarding <a href="http://www.amazon.com/One-Minute-Earth-www-kujaja-com-Volume/dp/1484160878" target="_blank">One Minute on Earth II</a> okay this link will take you to the previous book, which is available on amazon and on <a href="http://www.blurb.com/b/4412985-one-minute-on-earth" target="_blank">Blurb</a> <br />
<br />
What better way to get involved...<br />

Hello all<br />
<br />
I have some great news for you! You may remember last April 6th, 2013 at 1:00 pm a plethora of photographers (140 to be exact) decided to capture the very minute on earth as a collective. The book was a huge success and many photographers decided to join us all at <a href="http://www.kujaja.com/" target="_blank">Kujaja</a> the online photography community, to create other books as well.<br />
<br />
We really have been a busy lot, following the success of other books too, <i>Night on Earth, Mystic Landscape, </i>we wanted to build on that success and have proposed another book; <a href="http://www.blurb.com/b/4436928-one-minute-on-earth-hardcover" target="_blank">One Minute on Earth II</a><br />
<br />
So if your new to photography or are currently doing a 365 day project and looking for inspiration, or something else to focus on. Why not join us at <a href="http://www.kujaja.com/" target="_blank">Kujaja Online Photo Community</a> The book focuses on landscapes so if you're in a part of the world that didn't get a look in, and want to get your country of origin, or even your country of residence featured. Then take a look from the link above and get involved.<br />
<br />
See you there!<br />

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/rothwell172/sets/72157639667374856/">Analogue Street</a>, a set on Flickr.</div>
A collection of photographs from my film camera Pentax MX, a lot of black & white loom film. Film that has been pushed from 400 ISO to 1600. <br />
<br />
I have also used Ilford HP5 and <a href="http://www.ebay.com/bhp/kodak-200-35mm-film" target="_blank">Kodak 200</a> which I thought was really nice to use and the results very vibrant. Moving on from my last projects and wanting to capture key subject matter, and not just people sitting or smoking, this time round I focused on people using mobile phones juxtaposed with motifs or signs so as to complete a visual meaning in the work. Some of these are as I have normally found metaphors comical, sometimes too they can be serious.<br />
<br />
I met some great people especially the guy on the street with the paper cup, he didn't mind me photographing him, in fact whilst conversing with this man, he was the one who had the apparent interest in what I was doing, I explained I shoot social documentary / street photography. When I spotted you I thought this is how I perceive Britain today, I know am not alone in this analogy people in the UK are getting poorer, living conditions even for those wanting to migrate here, know that its do or bust.<br />
<br />
With that being said, they're other topics to photograph too, the festive season always brings out more shoppers from near or far, and they can be perfect to photograph. Looking at the photographs I can see my style of street photography may not please everyone, but that is okay.<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://flic.kr/y/C3iEo6" target="_blank">World Gallery</a></h4>
<br />
I know I can learn more from other photographers too, I recently found through <a href="http://flic.kr/p/iP13HU" target="_blank">Flickr</a> the Greek photographer <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/zisskar/" target="_blank">Zisis Kardianos,</a> his work is phenomenal and viewing the book he has published too, certainly gave me food for thought.<br />
<br />
You just have to open your eyes to the possibilities.<br />
<br />
<br />
Anyways enjoy viewing the photographs from the past few weeks I have captured and have a look at the gallery I put together on Flickr. </div>

<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Ever wondered about where you would like to take yourself....?</h4>
<div>
Sometimes we come to a point in our lives were our creative thoughts or our very souls have an unquenchable thirst for <a href="http://www.gap360.com/global-360" target="_blank">LIFE</a> It is the one aspect of growing as a person, to seek out adventure, new friends, new culture, new places of interest. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It is a natural process to want to migrate to other countries in the quest for knowledge or discovery, it is the fundamental point of which makes a person get to know yourself. It is also a fantastic innovative way of creating new thought processes of viewing the world. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When our eyes are subjected to new sights and our noses are made to discover new smells, the brain behaves in a unique manner of literally soaking up the atmosphere, it is the best way to learn about life around us. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Travelling</h4>
<div>
So travelling really should be on everyones' agenda, even if it is just visiting an undiscovered or never before seen part of your own country, it is essential to learning. I regularly travel around the United Kingdom to discover people, people who may lead entirely different lives to myself. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have also had the opportunities, to travel to other countries in Europe, America , Asia and some Arab States. It was a fantastic time for myself on a road of discovery, learning new languages and eating some exquisite cuisine. Travelling offers a fresher perspective for photography, you really do become much more creative, your eyes begin to dart everywhere as though you are an explorer taking in all that new information. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Their many companies out there, that offer around the world trips for students, or post graduates or even someone who has come to a point in their life and wants a voyage of discovery. So where to go where to start?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Locations </h4>
<div>
Many aspiring travel photography will think of the Asian or European continent, then they may think of the <a href="http://www.statravel.com.au/home.htm" target="_blank">southern hemisphere</a>, the southern hemisphere offers a different view on life. So many countries out there covering the southern hemisphere, in fact their over forty countries that are considered to be mostly in the southern hemisphere. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So from Angola to East Timor to Brazil to <a href="http://www.gov.rw/Over-5800-Rwandans-evicted-from-Tanzania-to-be-resettled-into-Districts-in-early-January" target="_blank">Rwanda</a>, one photographer who has visited over 43 countries in six years is of course Sebastiao Salgado, another worldly wise photographer is Steve McCurry. Both shoot documentary photography, have collated unique collections of inspiring portraiture, landscapes and <a href="http://travel.nationalgeographic.com/travel/countries/mozambique-guide/" target="_blank">news items</a>. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So if you're looking for an adventure and fancy yourself as a travel photographer or even a <a href="http://www.bridgesandballoons.com/" target="_blank">digital nomad</a> do some research on the places you would like to visit, find out what the situation is for working abroad, if you require a <a href="http://www.statravel.com.au/search.htm?fulltext.search.query=working+visa" target="_blank">working visa</a> with a holiday company such as STA Travel. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Or if you are thinking of working in the northern states of USA, you may want to <a href="http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/types/types_1271.html" target="_blank">look here</a> for more information. Here if you want to keep up with <a href="https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/mozambique" target="_blank">travel news</a> with Mozambique. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Remember locations can have civil wars, and unless that is the specific reason for your documentary photography, do take caution. </b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div>
Mozambique has some of the best coastline in Africa, offering the photographer access to some local people who travel daily wearing <a href="http://flic.kr/p/8W4Be7" target="_blank">traditional dress</a>. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Very fascinating stuff I am sure you'll agree, what about other locations may be <a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/south-america" target="_blank">South America</a>. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
South America is home to many <a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/colombia/caribbean-coast/cartagena" target="_blank">colonial cities</a>, places such as <a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/peru/arequipa-and-canyon-country/arequipa/things-to-do/top-things-to-do-in-arequipa" target="_blank">Arequipa</a>, these places offer up museums, religious sites and hiking and trekking. So if you have a head for heights and are quite the adventurer you may like to visit <a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/peru/tours/hiking-trekking/peru-traverse" target="_blank">Machu Picchu</a>. So you can imagine the breathtaking views from such dizzy heights and a fairly introductory trek leads to a magnificent world heritage site. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So many different places offering so many different cultures to learn from, isn't it just that, that makes your feet twitchy for discovery? </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Let's just take a look at some inspiring photographs from around the world...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<a href="http://flic.kr/p/8W4ekQ" target="_blank">Island roads</a> <a href="http://flic.kr/p/9S4Hv8" target="_blank">Travel / Florence / Italy</a> These marvellous photographs come from the Cuba Gallery on Flickr and the guy behind these magical photographs is Andrew, a photographer and designer from Auckland, New Zealand. You can follow him and his work <a href="http://lightroomtutorials.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">here</a>. Andrew has a very good idea of interpretation of architecture, I guess that comes from being a designer and having such a wonderful passion for his surroundings and spatial awareness.<br />

So do take a look, and if you want to follow him and his work, subscribe to his posts on his blog, <a href="http://lightroomtutorials.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Lightroom Tutorials</a>. I have to say I find this piece very inspirational from a composition point of view, in this frame we see great use of scale, the organic aspect is the single man jogging through a seemingly foreboding dark concrete jungle. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The aesthetic is very pleasing though to the eye, remember not all travel photography is about traditional dress, sometimes it can be the very architecture, that conveys a message of wander and enlightenment. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Andrew knows his stuff, and shares his knowledge of photographic manipulation within the Adobe Lightroom experience. These Presets can be purchased on his page or if you are already quite savvy with Lightroom, you can create your own. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Though if your also into street photography or even <a href="http://www.lomography.com/" target="_blank">lomography</a> you will know of the wacky effects you can create using analogue technology and good old celluloid film, I love shooting film and I know how to create elaborate works simply by re-exposing the film again, or even using this neat trick to create a very <a href="http://www.lomography.com/magazine/tipster/2014/01/09/experiment-no-3-photo-and-detergent" target="_blank">purple haze effect.</a> </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A neat trick, not for everyone. But nevertheless; it is very experimental. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Experimentation is key to your development as a photographer.</div>

<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Well </h4>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">it looks like it's that time of year again, and everybody is getting over the big bird in the oven by now, and thinking about how successful was your Christmas, did you turn over a new leaf did you even produce some great work and convert that work into a calendar or even a book or maybe just a fantastically framed photograph now hanging on your wall? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">For those in the know, especially in the UK you will no doubt have travelled up the <a href="http://www.thenec.co.uk/" target="_blank">M42 motorway</a> and found your way to the Birmingham NEC Centre at some point in your life or career, I have visited the place many times now, its a massive complex and it features several shows in the year, including shows on dentistry and high performance cars, and of course not forgetting the caravanning and camping show, (people think about holidaying at this time too). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">However for us creative lot, the most important date especially if you like me are studying or are just as passionate about photography like myself. <a href="http://www.thenec.co.uk/whatson/" target="_blank">The NEC Birmingham</a> will be hosting the one show you will definitely will be interested in <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/494039684048483/" target="_blank">The Photography Show</a> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />The Photography Show is the brand new exhibition dedicated to the world of photography.<br />Taking place from 1-4 March 2014, this is the perfect forum for professional photographers, enthusiasts, amateurs, mobileographers, retailers and anyone who operates within the photography industry.<br />The Photography Show provides an unrivalled platform to get hands-on with the latest gear from over 200 exhibiting brands, including industry giants Nikon, <a href="http://www.olympus.co.uk/" target="_blank">Olympus</a>, Fujifilm, <a href="http://www.hasselblad.co.uk/" target="_blank">Hasselblad</a>, Epson and Sigma. So when you have finished exploring what the brand names have on offer for the forthcoming year, you can explore further and take in a show or two. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">On each day the they're many professionals who will show you how to take great pictures if you're just a beginner or even an intermediate and just want to progress further and make your chosen field stand out that much more. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Not only that but they have great photographers who will be talking about their work, one such photographer who has made countless contributions to photographic media including his library of bibliography photographic extraordinaire is <a href="http://stevemccurry.com/" target="_blank">Steve McCurry </a>. We all agree that Steve's work as a photojournalist is outstanding, his work ranges from the most subtle form of <a href="http://stevemccurry.com/galleries/portraits" target="_blank">portraiture </a>to vast <a href="http://stevemccurry.com/galleries/wabi-sabi" target="_blank">landscapes</a> depicting war torn countries and unique insight in to little known corners of the Indian and Asian Continents, to the astrid beauty of the mountainous landscape of Afghanistan for which most of his work is credited for. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Steve McCurry will be giving a talk on his techniques and the story behind his photographs on <a href="http://www.photographyshow.com/page.cfm/Action=Seminar/libID=1/entryID=40" target="_blank">Monday 3rd March</a> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><a href="http://rankin.co.uk/" target="_blank">Rankin</a> </span></h2>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Will be making an appearance too, the iconic fashion and portrait photographer who has established himself as one of the worlds leading influential fashion portrait photographers will be sharing his trade secrets and why he is still current and very much inspired, Rankin of course had a very inspiring exhibition recently with <a href="http://rankin.co.uk/exhibitions-previous/#/pic7" target="_blank">alive in the face of death</a> The subjects having varying degrees of hardship and their story telling made compelling viewing. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">As some of you may know fashion photography can be a very rewarding and lucrative career, it also incorporates to some degree <i><a href="http://caughtthelight.com/" target="_blank">Wedding Photography</a> </i>This subject will also be a key talking point at the exhibition so if your like me and shoot the odd wedding or shoot weddings on a regular basis, then there is something for everyone whatever your level. <i> </i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Not only that but there is much more in the way of fashion, there will be a <a href="http://www.catwalk-collection.com/" target="_blank">catwalk</a> too, so some head turning stuff so remember to have your camera at the ready!</span></div>
