HIATUS

This blog has drawn to a halt for a while. Perhaps a long while. Justin had to leave but he still pops up from time to time over at Burn My Eye. Richard has returned to England's Pleasant Pastures and I'm concentrating on my Photohumourist Blog.

It's a bit like Richard said, I think - "collectives are so 2011". Nice one.

This blog will stay up just in case we decide to resurrect it at some point.

Some of my posted photos will no longer appear as I've terminated my PhotoShelter account for the time being.

Good bye.

Shoots and Leaves

''June 21 is the longest day of the year, and the extra light and warmth encourages the garden to put on an exhuberant burst of growth''. -RHS.

It also encourages gardeners to venture out and that has given me an exhuberant burst of motivation with this little project. Here's a small selection:

Bournemouth Street Photography Courses

This is a unique opportunity to join two experienced street photographers in a vibrant coastal resort.
Paul Russell (In-Public member) and Justin Sainsbury (UK Street Collective) will be leading engaging one-day courses around the town on 11 and 25 June 2011.

Through personal, in-the-field tuition we will encourage you to develop your own style and create interesting and inspiring street photographs.

Aspects of the day will include:

– Looking at the practical factors to consider when taking pictures of people in their environment.

– Learning to anticipate and make the most of interesting situations.

– How to best utilise your existing equipment, plus hands-on assessment of specialist cameras – the Ricoh GRD II and the Fujifilm FinePix X100.

– Maximising impact and creating rounded photo stories through selective editing.

By having a maximum of four participants we will ensure that you receive a concentrated level of advice and insight into this fascinating and challenging photography genre. The course will take place in situ on the street but we will have this beach hut base camp close to Bournemouth Pier!

For course fee of £80.00 you will also receive the benefit of a review of some of your previous work prior to the day in Bournemouth. Following the day’s shoot we will also provide an in-depth review of your pictures.

Paul and Justin are known for their humorous and poignant take on everyday life. If you enjoy non-confrontational photography of people without relying on long lenses then this may be the course for you.

For more detail please contact paul.russell99@btinternet.com

The one-day courses will run from 11 am until 6 pm plus assessment of your portfolio of best shots via the Internet and a review of your Bournemouth shots subsequent to the day out.

Practicalities
Bournemouth is less than 2 hours from London Waterloo by train and is served by two trains per hour.

Photos by Justin Sainsbury - A 'Right Royal Do'

We're told a million people lined the Royal wedding route yesterday. Here's my take on just a small handful of visitors enjoying the day. I was happy to work along the fringes, letting chance happenings, encounters and a little bit of instinct guide me around. Visiting a small hidden banked copse along the edge of the Mall, two pubs and the Ambassadors' chauffeur car park seemed worth-while trade-offs to the spot I'd established outside the Abbey earlier in the day.

Tired of working in isolation and craving community, the three of us have come together in a joint venture to collectively grow and develop our skills. We are in the earliest stages and are excited at the prospect of collaboration through editing, mentoring and group projects. We are using the Virtual Agency facility at PhotoShelter which acts as a portal to show our work and so any sales generated go directly to the photographer concerned. Though this is not a commercial venture, we do hope to sell prints through our individual archives and we will soon have a bookshop where each of our books will be available to purchase. The main focus of this endeavour is to filter only the best of our work to the surface and thereby maintain a consistently high standard of contemporary street photography. Other disciplines in which we all work will be left to our individual archives.

Thank you for your interest. We hope that you will continue to visit us as we develop our project.
