Some of my work, more detailed photos of my book coming soon.

Pictures from a book i'm making. I call them the Lymm Series, the book will be called What I've been seeing, Lately.

Read this people! It's really helped me put photography into perspective!

This week I will mostly be scanning, printing in the dark room and begging the mac suite to let me print on my own paper! not long left to go yet.

What I've Been Seeing, Lately.

I have temporarily abandoned digital! It was a bit of an accident, stumbled upon Kodak 400 VC 120 film and fell in love with it a bit, thank you lomo shop london! I can put it straight through the C41 and it makes such interesting colours which come out amazingly when scanned in the flexi scan, they have come out a lot differently after being manually printed but i don't mind.

The move from digital to film which is the reverse of what I seemed to do at the beginning of uni, has made me thing about ownership of photographs..... My photography has become a lot more personal and film helps back up this idea even more, I have started making photographs that I can then put complete ownership on, I have taken the time to look at something and decide if it's worth using one of my precious 12 negatives to record it... I then go to the C41 and it becomes my negative, i go to the scanner and it becomes my tiff file, i go to the little curtained room in the machine dark room and it becomes my own 10x10 print!

This blog is going to be used to show current and previous work, inspiration and just stuff i have seen lately. Enjoy!
