Self portrait #4

I should really go and find someone else to photograph like a criminal.

Edit: should probably explain that the look on my face is due to the lemon I had just eaten. Bitter. A quick look into the many involuntary faces I pull.

Self Portrait #3

I am quite narcissistic, no surprise there, so I thought it was about time I explored this using my camera... again. Its been about 2 years since I last sat down and made a self portrait.

Its a strange but fascinating process, one of taking and then looking, adding another stage to the creation of a photograph. Its also weird how often I looked at a picture that said "this doesn't look like me". Eventually, I found a crop that I feel encompasses my head on photographic style and the pleasure I take in looking. The slightly raised eyebrow reflects my questioning personality and the unforgiving camera allows the viewer to explore the history of my face (which isn't that long).

But that's just my view.

Taf went out and found...

Since graduating, I haven't taken many photographs and i certainly haven't updated my blog so I thought it time I go out and refresh my eyes to the world. Its amazing how coming back to Essex has dulled my artistic appetite.

After a good long look on google maps I found a couple of pill boxes in the local country side that I decided to photograph Bernd and Hilla Becher style.

On another note, however scary these place are during the day, I would very much like to shoot here during the late evening. Time to get a car.

Its been a long time

Since I last blogged any of my work, or anything for that matter so My plan for this post is to update a considerable amount. Things have been changing fast, with the degree show round the corner it really is time for me to buckle down. Any ways here are the latest additions with some re-shoots.
