I’m sorry! I know it’s been aaaaaaaaaages since my last
post, but to be honest I haven’t picked up my camera since it ditched into the
seas a few week ago. I’ve been extremely
busy (I have no idea what I’ve been doing) and to be honest I’ve hit a bit of a
creative slump. The only thing I have
been working on lately is a lith print from an old negative. It’s super-flat contrast so I am trying to
print it onto Slavich Unibrom – and regular reader’s will know all the trouble’s
I have had with that paper! Jess is away
at a wedding on Saturday so I’m hoping to get a few hours in the darkroom to
try and get at least one acceptable print.
As regards my creative rut I guess I’m just tired of popping
out and snapping a few pics of random stuff.
Although I do enjoy doing that I’m starting to feel more like I should
be doing projects – giving a group of prints a theme and planning the shoots
etc. With that in mind I have started
planning 3 projects. How long it will
take to complete I don’t know but I’m pretty excited about shooting them. It’s giving me purpose in my photography and
providing me with something to focus my mind on. I just need to work on getting the materials
together before I can start setting up the shoots, but I’m really excited about
working on the final prints.
That’s about all I’ve got to say at the minute – I just
thought I had better explain why I have been silent for so long. Hopefully I will make a decent print at the
weekend and have a post about it early next week. Until then!
