New MiniClick talks for 2011
A new series of MiniClick talks have started at Add the Colour in Brighton. Last week it was Erika Szostak who gave a talk. Instead of just talking about her work she spoke about the relationship between the photographic image and accompanying text. It’s quite often that you see an image and it might not mean much until you know about it’s context. It’s quite common to see great images posted on flickr and tumbler with no explanation of what they are about and I find it really frustrating. When ever I upload images I always give the images titles, tags and most of the time I will add a description if its needed.
Hipstamatics exhibition hits London
Last Night I checked out the opening of the Hipstamatics Exhibition at the Orange Dot Gallery London. Its a crowd sourced exhibition made up of Hipstamatic shots submitted from all around the world to hipstamatics.com. Hipstamatic is one of the most popular iPhone photography applications. It emulates the look and feel of film with a variety of digital filters, lens and flashes.

Martin Parr’s Black Country Stories
There are only a few more weeks left to check out Martin Parr’s new show Black Country Stories at The Public in West Bromwich (Birmingham). I was lucky enough to be invited to the private view. Being in West Bromwich I was expecting something low key because the last Parr show I had been invited to was at a working mans club in Cardif. This was not the case, The Public is a huge super modern gallery / arts facility. Its a pretty big exhibition and worth travailing to, I came 140 miles and I thought it was well worth it.

December Source trend spotting pictures
The next issue of Brighton Source won’t be out until February, you should still be able to catch the December/January issue in and around Brighton if you’re lucky. I still have to shoot some portraits for the new issue so if you knocking around Brighton doing your sales shopping after the January 1st then best make sure you are looking trendy as I might be approaching you.
Swimming in the sea at Christmas
At 32 years of age this is the first white Christmas I have ever experienced. It’s a bit of a cliché but snow changes everything and for that reason you will see every man and his dog out with their camera. When the snow first started falling in Brighton a few weeks ago I was one of many who was out with their camera. What I really enjoy shooting in the snow are the members of Brighton swimming club, as they go for their morning dip (nothing can stop them).
Pummelvision
Pummelvision is a new tool from one of the creators of Vimeo. For those of you that don’t know, Vimeo is a posher version of YouTube where comments are no where near as rude! Pummelvision is dead simple, it pulls up the last 2500 of you latest images from either your Flickr, Facebook or Tumbler account and then makes them into a video which is either sent to Vimeo or YouTube. Check out my Pummelvision video here. Continue reading
Pictory mag secrets of inspiring women
A photo of my wife Sarah has been used as part of Pictory’s latest showcase “Secrets of Inspiring Women”. Pictory launched almost one year ago to the day. It lists themes on it’s website and invites their users to submit a picture and text around the themes. Usually a guest curator will pick between 20 – 30 images to be shown on the site. So far I have had images displayed in the themes “Local Flavour” and “Overseas and Overwhelmed“. Continue reading

As far as Brighton is concerned North Laine Photography Gallery is a bit of an institution, up there with the Duke of York’s Picture House and Brighton Source Magazine. Continue reading
