shadow catchers v&a

I recently came across the V&A website and saw that they are currently showing an exhibition of Artists that are Photographers but do not use cameras; Camera-less photography.

The show is called Shadow Catchers: Camera-less Photography and it includes the work of Floris Neususs, Adam Fuss, Pierre Cordier, Susan Derges and Gary Fabien Miller.

Theres also a book that accompanies the exhibition which looks beautiful.

The website has videos of each artists showing you their process of camera-less photography, it is actually really interesting if your interested in different processes of working with images and the outcome of all of their work is breathtaking.

I'm gutted that I wont be able to go see it as it is in London and I'm not going there until May, it is being shown from 13th October 2010 - 20th February 2011, so if you live in London or are planning a visit I'd recommend going to see it!

The image below is one of my favourites from the artist Floris Neususs, it is a full size whole body photogram.

PX 70 FF Colour

Oh dear, its been ages since I posted anything.

This is mainly due to starting uni 4 weeks ago and being busy commuting etc.

I'm starting to feel like uni is un-inspiring me which cant be good.

Anyway, I bought a big 3 pack of the new PX 70 colour film, I think Ive got through almost a pack and these are the only ones that have come out alright.

Its very experimental so I'm going to be experimenting more hopefully :)

sisters house

This past week I've been house and cat-sitting for my sister while she was in Egypt. It's been fun, I love having a house to myself, even though I dont act much differently, its nice.

Plus her house is kind of like a hotel, clean, crisp and glossy.

I finally got hold of some more Spectra, its seriously been too long.

Hopefully this weekend I will be taking lots of photo's and will be on here more often,

I promise.

...........

I recently got some more Fuji colour film but realised I had 2 shots of black and white Polaroid left in my 450 land camera so I used them up.

I've really been slacking lately and I hate myself for it, I've let other things get in the way that just really arent inportant to me at all.

I'm going to sort myself out as I start uni in just over a months time, I really cant wait!

This is my new favourite corner, it has most things I need (minus all my cameras).

Scanner, sewing machine, polaroids, Francesca Woodman & Nan Goldin books :)

bloody px

I've been having a bit of a hard time with the First Flush PX 600, my first batch was spot on, almost perfect. But my next pack just isnt working as well, I think it has a lot to do with the heat, the weather recently has been a bit warm and mental and it looks as though its had a bit of an effect on my bloody px film!

Hopefully I'll have better look with my next pack.

These are the few I really salvaged from the pack!
