My Concept for my images...

After putting the lights up we finally could finally put all our hard work out, our final photographs!

For my final photographs, I looked at Forts for the concept of 'Territory'. I photographed Fort Nelson and Fort Purbrook showing the main features of both forts and what makes them territorial.

I made my photographs look like old fashioned postcards and presented them on a black board in mounted windows on a glass table.

Here is what my final piece looked like...

Lights, camera...

Tuesday 6th December,

We all head down to The Round Tower with our mats for the floor, our work and also to meet and greet the Electricity men who were putting up the lighting rig!
Here is how it all looked...

                                                       All ready for the next day!

10 Days to go!

10 Days to go till the exhibition! All sorting out last minute things, especially me!

My first idea was to create a light table however, I changed my mind last minute and decided to window mount my images onto black mountboard into a table and put glass over the mountboard. This would save money and time!

Here are the images that I will be exhibiting in my table at The Round Tower...

Posters and flyers finished, created and printed!

Here are our Posters and Flyers for our exhibition! Getting really excited!

Visiting The Round Tower!

We visited The Round Tower on 4/11/11 as a Group as some of us hadn't seen the inside of it yet, me being one of them so I was very excited!

I was absolutely intrigued by the interior of the Building. It was beautiful and really takes your breath away. Although it looks small in Photographs, the interior is actually very big, which surprised me!

Here are some Photographs that I took of the interior of The Round Tower, enjoy...

 

Some exhibition news!

I was thinking about deleting my Twitter as I always thought that no one really took interest in what I said on there. However, Im glad I didn't! As one day I twittered to a fellow twitterer about our exhibition that is being held at The Round Tower, asking about some advertising for it.
Then out of the blue I got a tweet from Steven Piper, who works for 'Something Interesting' about some sponsorship for our exhibition. Great!

A couple of phone calls later and we recieved sponsorship from Steven, which we are all very grateful for!

Shit London!

An interesting Lecture that was on a blog called 'Shit London'.

'Shit London' is a blog set up by Patrick who first of all just started taking some photographs of some shit and funny things in London. Patrick came in and talked to us all about his blog that I found brilliant! His success on such a simple thing amazed me and he has even had a book released on 'Shit London'.

 

Patricks 'Shit London' is not only his own photographs but the people of London's own photographs of what is shit around London! The Photographs are a breath of fresh air from looking at some photographs in depth and discovering meaning. They make you smile and laugh!

Here is Patrick's website http://shitlondon.co.uk/

It will cheer you up and make your day!
