Seeing
as this is the first post of the year I
would like to say a big thank you to our subscribers and follows for
dropping by over the past year and anyone else who happens to stumble
across us. I would also like to thank the back office for all there
help with editing etc. I have to admit if it was not for their over
site some of what you have read would have been incomprehensible
rambling in jigsaw puzzle.
I
have changed the header picture for 2016 . It is the back of an Agfa
Isolette that was given to me. I would use it more but it has a light
leak that I have not had time to repair. Something I may get round to
this year but I will not hold my breath. Also I'm going to mix it up
with some different types of post, for instance - all picture. Not
sure exactly what else I am going to do but I'm sure you will let me
know if they are any good.
The
blog ended the year with a bit of a flourish adding a number articles
for the festive period to keep you amused. If you missed them here is
a list:
I
also released a book of drawings on blurb - not what you would expect
but that is the point, here is a link if you are interested in having
a look.
I
have been reading an online Photography magazine from New Zealand called F11 (current issue) it features three photographers each month with an in depth
look at their work. They have featured over the months some stunning
images made by digital and analogue practitioners.
You
can only get the magazine online by subscribing for the free app! Yes
that's right free! - to read live or download for later. It has a
host of live links in among the articles that take you to more
pictures and or related info. It is well produced and a bit of a gem
seeing the amount of work that must go in to producing each issue.
There is also a list of back issues you can read or download to read
off line as well. Here's the link if you are interested.
Before
I go I'm going to leave you with this from Henry Carter Bresson.
The
photograph is to hold one's breath, when all faculties converge to
capture fleeting reality.
It
is that precise moment that mastering the image becomes a great
physical and intellectual joy.
