I currently have a print on show
in A Year In Development,
a group show of gorgeous, solely
hand printed colour photographs.
The show is printed and curated
by Labyrinth Photographic,
a traditional film-based darkroom
dedicated to the craft of fine
photographic printing. Labyrinth
print for many of the country's top
photographers and the amazing
standard and range of work
in the show is testament
to their talents and the fruits
of collaboration between
photographer and printer.
It's on until the 22nd March 2013.
Do go and see it. There's some
beautiful work.

Yesterday I gave two talks in one day.
Both from different perspectives
on the same project. In the morning
I talked to design students at London
College of Communication about the issues
of ship recycling and the role of visual
communicators in addressing Waste.
In the evening I talked at Photofusion
about the different forms that the
Fish Out of Water project had taken.
Both were great audiences who gave
some insightful conversation and feedback.

I'm pleased to say that this print
from my Fish Out of Water project
has been selected to be part of the
Photofusion AMPS2012 exhibition.
It will be on show with a lot of other
great work until the 18th of January.
You can read a great review
of the exhibition on the wonderful
Brixtonblog.com.

Last week I had the pleasure
of joining in on the Local Wisdom
Project. Part fashion, part portrait
and part anthropology, the project
documents and explores
the resourceful and satisfying
ways in which we use our garments.
We converted the Carnaby Book
Exchange (right in the centre
of the Christmas shopping frenzy)
into an impromptu photographic
studio, recording a rich tapestry
of different garments and their
wonderful stories. You can see
the images from the day here.

There is a four page spread about
Clothing Recycled in The Sustainable
Fashion Handbook by Sandy Black.
The beautifully designed sourcebook

concerns through to the social impact
of the fashion industry.

Last night saw the launch
of Rowan Art's Born & Bred
oral history project at The Old
Fire Station Community Centre
in Holloway. The project tells
the stories of 51 people with
a connection to Holloway Road
in the form of a book, exhibition
and website. I worked as lead
photographer and delivered
a programme of photography
tuition, helping volunteers working
on the project to improve their
portrait photography at all levels.
I'm really proud of the resulting
work produced by the 15
volunteers I've worked with over
the last year. The exhibition runs
until the end of this year.

Last night the STREB dance

the performance. You can see

Plans are afoot for a Right Royal Portrait
Booth as part of the Diamond Jubilee
Festival in Battersea Park on the 3rd

I'm currently directing and shooting stills
for a behind-the-scenes documentary

being created by Film Director Edgar Wright,
Illustrator Tommy Lee Edwards, and... you?!
The documentary is to be largely made up
of stills and audio. A nod to Chris Marker's
La Jetee. Part 1 of will be out in late May.
