going underground...
I’m pleased to have been selected for the photography fair at the Underground Gallery, which is a quite new central London photography gallery! Looking forward to seeing the whole exhibition and all the other photographers work. Tonight is the private view at Underground Gallery which is in the actual underground under the ground at Charing Cross tube station indeed.
broken train
Earlier this year a group of friends including me started a photography collective called, most confusingly and hard-to-rememberably, five eleven ninety nine. Apart from exhibiting at PhotoIreland Festival, and self-publishing a couple of nice little soft-back books, we’ve been playing a game we call Broken Train. Every day one of us posts an image in response to the previous image. The...

Conscientious
I entered the portfolio competition on Jorg Colberg’s Conscientious blog a few weeks back and humbly accepted that I was not one of the winners. This was quite easy to do as the winners were excellent – I recommend a look at them all: Mirjana Vrbaski, Nigel Bennet, and Yaakov Israel. But happily, Mr Colberg did feature my work on the blog despite this, selecting the photograph below taken...

We did some photos for his website and promotional things with the beautiful Isla,...

Foto8 Summershow!
I’ll have one picture in Foto8′s summer show at Host Gallery, London, this year. It’s a pleasure to have been selected, and I do like the picture they’ve chosen, though which one that is will remain a mystery until the opening on July 8th – it’s important to keep people guessing! It’s from my project to happiness, endlessly.

Geoff
Photographing a blind person is an experience laced with so much paradox. Geoff was a willing participant in this complex engagement. He is endlessly fascinated with sight; his own lack of it; descriptions of the sighted world, of light, of this mysterious sense which to him typifies another world.
Geoff cannot ‘picture’ anything. He can remember that an object is there, but would not be able...
