Lomo LC-Wide hands on review

Posted on 21st May 2011 by lomokev

On May 19th 2011 Lomography released the Lomo LC-Wide or Lomo LC-W for short. I’ve had the camera for 24 hours and I have shot one roll of film and have had it developed and I’m now ready to pass on my opinion.

The brand new lomo LC-W Continue reading →

Local legends pictory show case

Posted on 18th May 2011 by lomokev

I have an image of my friend Dave in a new Pictroy show case called “Local Legends“. If you had to describe Dave in one word it would have to be legend. If you want to know why he is a legend check out the text that accompanies the image in the show case. You may recognise him as he appears in my Flickr stream multiple times.

New Flickr home page images

Posted on 18th May 2011 by lomokev

Flickr have redesigned their landing page, they have selected a new set of images that are displayed at random when you go to their homepage. I am luckily enough to have two of my images included! To see the changes you have to log out of flickr as they are on the opening page. I had an image on the homepage before and it gave me quite a bit of exposure so it will be interesting to see what happens this time round.

Review of Everyday for the iPhone

Posted on 12th May 2011 by lomokev

For the past 2 months I have been using a little iPhone application called Everyday. The app was inspired by photographer Noah Kalina, and I first heard about it after attending a talk by Noah. Noah is best known for taking a picture of himself everyday for the past 11 years. You can see the first 5 years of his project in this YouTube video, which has been viewed almost 20 million times.

When you first start using Everyday there is not much to write home about, but after a while you will start to love it! The premise is simple; take a photo of yourself at regular intervals. Once you have enough, you can make a time-lapse video of your self, creeping towards the grave. I have mine set to prompt me 3 times a day at 9AM, 12PM and 9PM. You can set it to prompt you as much or as little as you want.

Texas here I come. yeeHa!

Posted on 9th May 2011 by lomokev

Its Phoot Camp time again and Pictory Mag recently announced 2011 attendees. If you don’t know what Phoot Camp is you can check out my previous posts about here and yours truly is in the line up again!

As part of 2011 application process potential Phoot campers had to submit a self portrait. I have been having a bit of a crazy time lately so only realized the deadline was 36 hours away after giving a talk in London! That evening and in the following morning (in golden hour loveliness) I set about shooting a few self self portraits. I shot 2 montage portraits on my Lomo LCA of my self witch are an evolution of my other montage portraits. A collage of different self portraits on different backgrounds and a 2 digital shots. I submitted the montage shot below but in hindsight  think I prefer the topless one.

Check the shot I submitted and the ones I did not below. Click on the images below to be taken to the respective Flickr pages.

Brighton exhibitions in May

Posted on 5th May 2011 by lomokev

Exhibition at the New Old Market Theatre

I have work on display at the recently re-opened Old Market Theatre in Hove. I was lucky enough to be asked by the new owners if I wanted to display some work while the Brighton festival was on. It is now a very impressive space that has been completely renovated. I was given a generous 20 meters of wall space to fill in two separate rooms. I think this is the most amount of work I’ve ever had on display in one place. I have 15 montage portraits in the Waterloo Room and then a small selection of my swimming photos in the foyer.
