Brighton Fringe: Rattle Tales
I took part in a collaboration between Brighton & Hove Camera Club and the Rattle Tales writers’ group at the Brighton Fringe last night. The event was at the Brunswick public house in Hove, a well trodden venue hosting every type of event from music to mime and back. The idea on the night was that [...]
New England, IBM and the Architecture of I.M.Pei
A trip to New York a couple of weeks ago brought surprises on many different levels. Firstly a reunion with an old school friend I had not seen for forty years, secondly a night in a hotel that put Alan Partridge to shame and thirdly a close up look at the architecture of I.M. Pei [...]
Road Trip to Mysore
I didn’t get the chance to take photographs the last time I visited Bangalore. My mistake. This time I set aside time to get outside of the IT capital of India and explore the countryside. I booked a car for the day and at 7am set off for Mysore with the intention of taking in [...]
Nik Collection by Google
I was a little surprised when Google announced a month or so ago that they had acquired Nik Software, the company that brought us the excellent Silver Efex Pro and HDR Efex Pro photo editing software. The acquisition made sense on the level that Google had already acquired Piknik the on line editing suite aimed [...]

We started the trip at Malaga airport where [...]

McCullin
McCullin the man is a real, live, photographic legend, best known for portraits of war. McCullin the film is a documentary that presents the man and his work and so doing attempts to throw some light on the shaping of a photographer whose images can credibly claim to have altered the thinking of a generation. [...]
Canon EF Mk III 1.4x Lens Extender
The notion that what is in effect a second lens, inserted between the real lens and the camera, will not detract from image quality is counter intuitive to the point where I have never seriously considered using one of these devices to extend the reach of my lens. The lens extender is not the same [...]
Paul Strand – Tir A’Mhurain: The Outer Hebrides
Paul Strand was an American photographer and film maker whose work I was only vaguely familiar with, as one of a number of modernist photographers who helped establish the form in the United States during the mid 20th Century. That was before I discovered this book and the fascinating story behind it. Strand was a [...]

William Klein & Daido Moriyama at the Tate Modern
I’ve seen this exhibition three times now and that still doesn’t seem enough. My reactions could be measured on a scale of reflection from “Wow!” to “Now I remember why I went to film school!”. William Klein, for the benefit of those who don’t know, is an American photographer/writer/film maker based in Paris, whose utilisation [...]
