Photography Update

In full photography mode this morning.

Spending the next hour or two planning out my new ‘people’ photography project. In 2010, I took a lot of photos of things. This year, I want to focus on people.
I also want to explore photo processing techniques in a lot more detail. So far, for me, processing has been about minor tweaks and colour correction. I want to see how I can use more advanced techniques to create more art-like images.

My big FAIL for 2010 has been not posting enough of my work online. That is all about to change. Will be posting a lot more, work in progress as well as finished work.

Stay tuned!!!

I’m back

It has been a hectic 7 weeks in my new job but now that I’ve settled and found my feet, I’m ready to resume my film, photography and writing projects … and of course regular updates on this blog.

I have quite a few things I want to wrap up this year as I’d like to start 2011 fresh, working on brand new projects.

My plan is that by the end of this year I will have completed …

  • A short film
  • A novel
  • Online photography portfolio


I’ve stopped all my other mini projects so I can concentrate on the above (and the day job).

I’m also working on my fitness as well as throwing myself into my Danish lessons so that I can go into 2011 with some new language skills.

Last but not least, I’m trying to master the art of meditation. This is particularly difficult for me as my mind is always ‘talking’, but I like the discipline involved and the idea of developing my mind.

So, this is pretty much my focus until the end of the year. Looking forward to seeing what the new year will bring.

New Film Project

My life is one big revolving carousel of projects at the moment and I am adding another one into the mix.

I’m making a film.

Once upon a time filmmaking was my first and only love. If you made a film it had to be on 35mm (or 16mm at a push) or else it wasn’t a ‘real’ film.

It was a f@cking expensive hobby that required specialist crew and processing at a post production facility.

Photography and writing used to be the things I did in-between film projects, but because of their instant nature, they slowly became the things I did

the most often, and film slowly took a back seat.

Well not anymore.

I’m starting development on my new film project this week, and it’s good to be back.

Still toying with two variations of the same idea. A proper post, with project details to come as soon as I’ve made up my mind.

Angel? or Viking? … just joking (or am I?).

The motion keeps my heart running

There are three things that fuel me – Photography, Writing and Filmmaking.

I am only really happy when I am doing these things.

I can’t choose between them as each of them caters to a core need I have.

I am a ‘feeler’ and everything I do is about capturing or re-creating emotion.

I rotate my projects daily, rather than spending weeks/months doing one at a time. For me this keeps things fresh and prevents things from becoming too routine. Most importantly though, it stops me from becoming bored. It also means I get just enough space from each project to allow ideas to develop some body and can then return to them with renewed enthusiasm, a fresh pair of eyes and a clear head.

Inspiration seems to come to me the most just before I fall asleep. If I don’t write it down, I will forget it by morning.

Some of my best ideas have come from song lyrics. Some of my worst from trying to copy other people.

Be true to yourself and be free.

*Bonus points if you know which song the title of this post was taken from.
