Twenty years ago, in April 1999, I was on a long road trip as part of a larger and very personal search. At the time all I had was a tiny yet expensive digital camera made by Kodak a DC 20. I of course carried medium and large format film cameras, and this images will one day resurface as prints for one reason or another.

Experiments in publishing?
I just signed up for this interesting SMS publishing experiment. From an artist in Japan, Craig Mod.
The premise is simple and something I long wondered about. He will text an image once a day over six weeks as he walks 1000 kilometres in Japan.
Thanks to Andy Adams and twitter for the heads up.
Solo Exhibition Details?
My upcoming solo show dates have been confirmed. The dates are 24th April to the 30th May. The opening celebration is from 4:00pm to 6:00pm on Saturday the 27th of April, at Sunshine Art Spaces, City Place Sunshine. My fresh box of paper arrived today. So now I need to find and confirm frame sizes before I start the final preparations for this solo show.
More Solo Show Preparations
This is the new edit with the connections between images in place. Sometimes you need to see these things in the flesh. This may change. I am expecting a batch of paper soon. So I may go bigger yet before mounting and installing later this month.
Solo Show Preparations
I have begun editing down the 40 or so pictures I had printed as work prints.I am now ready to print them as finished works totalling 14. This first edit above didn’t sit well with me initially.
I added and subtracted until I got the 14 above. Now as I look at them I can see a way to connect them together. My first decision was to begin and end with an image about 20 years apart. After this I loosely organised them by shape and location. Now after looking at them in isolation I can see that the horizon line can be used to tie them all together. The only remaining question now is size? Originally I was going to have 12 to 14 small 17×17 cm prints. But now I’m not so sure. I can easily print larger as all the pictures are made with a Hasellblad. Grain and contrast won’t be a problem as a consequence. Cost of course rise as I then need bigger frames and more archival mount board.
Art, Photography & Humanity?
Deleuze in reply to Paul Klee:-
“There is no work of art that does not make an appeal to a people that does not yet exist.”
Yes folks a new book arrived today!
