I love Sundays (four days too late)

I checked my Flickr account on Sunday evening, which I rarely do anymore, only to find I had been contacted by a New York publishing company. They want to use two of my photographs for a book they are going to be publishing on self-portraiture.

After thinking about it for a while, I've decided to make this into a general everyday blog. Now I'm no longer at uni and in the scary world of full employment (which has only been 1.5 years so far), I don't have as much time as I'd like to dedicate to photography. So rather than boring everyone with my photography endeavours, I'll bore you now with my everyday life too!

I'll post something slightly more interesting later, I had the best morning with Nicki, hanging out with some cute animals.

I'm still not using my iPad 2 to it's full potential, I won it in a raffle at work, never do I usually have such luck. A £1 raffle ticket was totally worth it!

It's been a while ..

It's been a long time since I have posted anything, or even done much on the photography front. I finally got a new job (Email Marketing Executive) and will be working in an amazing glass building with a sea view!

I'm waiting to shoot a few more rolls of film before I can send off my bulk of film to be processed and printed. The first film will hopefully come out as anticipated and go toward my first Margate zine 'Margate Gym Factory'.

Although I haven't been taking many photos I'm always reading and researching so here is some work that I've recently discovered, have been reading about:

Mauricio Palos - From the series 'Mr Perro Rano'

Ed Templeton - 'The Seconds Pass'

I bought this book a couple of months ago. I love all of Templeton's work.

Alessandra Sanguinetti - Old and new work

Always:

Rinko Kawauchi - 'Illuminance'

(One of the most beautiful books I have ever bought)

Margaret M. De Lange - 'Daughters'

Matt Collishaw - 'Insecticides'

Matt Collishaw's 'Magic Lantern' at the V&A

I bought a poster of this, still waiting in it's packaging to be framed.

This is the miniature version of the zoetrope that was on top of the V&A

(and me looking very grumpy)

This is Margate

Margate zine coming soon ...
