The pleasures of the post / written in light @auuop.bsky.social

Stumbled across this excellent exhibition on my morning walk last week. Went back again for a second look and bumped into @oldweirdalbion.bsky.social who’s written this wonderful essay about the show...

Fixed the typewriter. Typed the same sentences a million times just in case.

Godsteeth doing brilliant things..

Excellent stuff from Alexander Booth @wordkunst.bsky.social This book is beautifully done. Limited edition, 150 copies. You need one.

About to time travel back to 2003

.. light to dark | dark to light ..

Fascinating interview with Mandy Williams @artphotofilm.bsky.social about her photography and video work. Chalk cliffs, melancholic coastal towns, english politics, disrupted landscapes.. Some excellent music choices in here too. www.mixcloud.com/Resonance/th...

Have not done much lately, been ill. But I just made some cards.

Out of focus, motion-blurred. #super8

Got to see Manic Street Preachers in conversation with author Keith Cameron at Brighton Dome on Thursday night. Good stuff.

Thank you Dave!

Scotland on 110. There was a fault with the film, everything came back looking like someone dragged a pencil across the sky. Can’t say I’m disappointed.

Yesterday, looking for a set of negatives, I remembered my careful filing system had been abandoned months ago. All in piles and out of order. 9 sets of negatives never even scanned. Took hours but it’s all deciphered and organised now. Won’t let that happen again. (I bet I’ll let it happen again)

How to make subminiature neg scans look their very best - rephotograph them off the computer screen on the thermal-printout kids’ camera..

We spent the last weekend processing film in the bathroom. Minox subminiature spy film and some medium format. Haven’t done this myself in years..

A nighttime view of Broadford Bay, crosshatched and made sketchy by the fabric of the window blind I was looking through. A good few days on the Isle of Skye. Spent a lot of time looking out this window, hoping for otters.

A little clip of animation made using thermal labels (lots of them)

news from the dream world 🌙

Four pages, four notebooks. ‘…hid in death’s dateless night.’

The wind in Pewsey vale was really something. A moment from our daily walk along the canal to get to Acid Horse.

I’m back from a very splendid weekend at Acid Horse festival

This is a beautiful book, only 6 copies left, don’t hang about..

Episode 60. 5 excellent years of Experimental Trash. Go listen!

Hand-held, one second exposure, not holding my breath #largeformat #photography

The first print from the 4x5 camera. Missed a spot, made a kind of holloway. #largeformatphotography

First photos processed from the 4x5 camera

Taking the 4x5 back out to the woods again today

It's payday and though the weekend might seem enough of an escape... Why not secure yourself a sure slice of sonic utopia at Acid Horse in Wiltshire, 23-25 May? Details (and highlights) here: buff.ly/jmAC6av

Can you hear it

Some things on the wall

Finally had a chance to sit down with @iainsarjeant.bsky.social’s new book ‘An Uncertain Path’ and it’s wonderful, a really beautiful collection of work, the way the images work together is pure poetry.

Made another. Same words, different image (still frame from the 8mm film footage I still haven’t started editing)

Trying out this today. It requires a bit more patience and consideration than the way I usually work, which was…interesting. I’ll process the pictures tomorrow, hopefully, and see what’s what.

Even though it's an April 2015 article, 'The eeriness of the English countryside' by Robert Macfarlane (The Old Ways, Underland) is still a go-to for the detail and many links. (Also contains a strange contextual picture of the Princess of Wales) www.theguardian.com/books/2015/a...

Some kind of projection of a reflection

This is so beautiful and perfect and timely.. I’ve been having this exact experience myself this week, and trying way too hard to defy it. I should listen.

Yesterday’s rain

Everyone posting their deliciously gritty kids’ camera photos and I bought one the other week and then promptly forgot to bring it on this trip. Dreaming about all the shitty pictures I could have taken here…
