I know it happened a couple of weeks ago as well. Anyway probably too cold for outdoor photography so I shot the birds from Callum’s window.
Probably not the worlds best bird pics, but they’ll have to do for today.
Back, and I bought the nice weather with me
I’m back, and i’m married again (well just the vows anyway). Had a nice holiday, very hot (for me) and very relaxing.
So I won’t bore you too much with holiday snaps but here they are…….
There you go, wasn’t too harmful was it. I can bore you more on request.
4am Project
Date: 04/04/10
Time: 04:00
Cups of tea required to keep awake: probably 2
Location: Anywhere
Reason: Why not
It’s time to get up early and shoot the early hours. This time it’s more of a solo event (though nothing stopping groups getting together). So (short notice I know, but I like to leave it late!) get ready to shoot.
For more info click on the 4amProject in the clock above.
Again, thanks to Karen Strunks for arranging the event. Oh, did I mention you can win a Nikon D90 DSLR + 18-105mm lens this time?
There’s a whole load of other prizes also.
The aim of the 4amproject is to gather a collection of photos from around the world at the magical time of 4am. Everyone can take part and join in! All you need is a camera. We want to see what you see at that moment in time on that one day. What’s your view at 4am?
Art installation: Claudia Borgna – Shipwrecked: My Life For A Bag
It’s been one of those things I’ve been meaning to have a look at for a while. The Rea Garden, I’m on a mailing list for info and I do get the emails. However I didn’t really know where it was to be honest. I did however stumble across it on Sunday and found the exhibition ‘Shipwrecked: My Life for a Bag’
Now I’m not a follower of art (or do I pretend to understand much of it), but there’s something alluring about an abandoned building and lots of plastic bags.
So I took pictures…….
The installation is the work of the artist Claudia Borgna and does indeed involve a lot of white bin bags. Claudia can often be seen in and around the installation, so if you want to ask questions I’m sure she’ll be happy to answer them (I guess, I don’t know, but she certainly was happy to speak to me). The installation is only here for a few more days, as it closes on Sunday 28th March. I’m hoping maybe to pop up and have a go at slow shutter speeds to get a bit of movement in the images. Claudia was happy for me to take pictures and requested that she was mentioned when displaying them (which I’m very happy to do, thanks Claudia).
The Rea Garden is located at 1-8 Floodgate Street, Birmingham B5. For more info about events check out the website BehindClosedDoors
Paternoster Row
Quite a small road, I often pass it on the bus. For once I got out and took some pictures…….
I should’ve ventured up to the end, after all it wasn’t very far.
