    Notes on recent things

    It was a funny old summer. Mostly I quietly worked away on my DYCP, built this new website and applied many layers of paint to the the summerhouse we put together in the spring. We spent a wonderful week exploring Copenhagen and Stockholm, where we had the most delicious food, saw beautiful places and walked…

    Notes on the fortnight: 26 April 2024

    I’ve had to upgrade some kit recently and to help fund it I sold some older kit, something that doesn’t come naturally to me as I do tend to ‘collect’ things with any sort of sentimental value. My Canon 5D Mark II, which was my first full frame DSLR from all the way back in…

    Very quick notes today, as this week has been more admin based with proposals for jobs, financial things and thinking about goals for the new financial year.

    Notes on the week: 22 March 2024

    Last weekend I went to London for the afternoon and evening and was really pleased to get to visit my friend Mandy William’s exhibition with Colin Pantall and Dawn Rodgers at Four Corners, Disrupted Landscapes. The work was really powerful and the three very distinct bodies of work really worked well together inn the space.…

    A Zine about January 2022

    January is always a funny time of year. Generally a bit quiet, it’s when I try to do some of the jobs I should do all the time, but usually come bottom of the list, like updating my website and coming up with plans for contacting potential new clients and collaborators. The website has had…
