Never be alone again

we'll never be alone again

The collection of photo's on the last post were a bit shit, to be frank. I'd been looking at Wolfgang Tillmans work and listening to one of his lectures. He talked about the way images can work together and about the physical quality of the printed picture. I think I got hung up on the bit about images working together, rather than realising it was more about the physicality working in correlation with collections of images. A different context adding to the meaning like the gallery space or in a book I suppose?

I get side tracked . These are some other images I have made for the project about becoming a father (for the first time). I seem to be concentrating on my girlfriend rather than myself. She say she doesn't mind me photographing her, It's hard to photograph yourself I suppose. I've asked Ruth to take my photograph leading up to the birth... she's taken a couple but she's got other things on her mind, other than taking photo's of me looking confused or worried with a furrowed brow.

never be alone ..

I've been trying to keep on top of getting films processed and scanned for my new project, and at the same time continuing photographing, its been hard not having colour film processors in the town I'm living in. It sort of stops the flow and I get a back log of unprocessed films. Anyway I am still working out my methodology and what to focus on to create a narrative. At the moment I seem to be taking a lot of photo's of ruth. Only 10 days till our baby is due. Exciting times.

Never be alone again

I know the colours are all a bit out... but thats not what its about.

Never be alone again.

Never be alone again.

Never be alone again...Hopefully the start of regular blog posts

my final year studying at plymouth and this is to be my final major project. I have got a title to some how construct a narrative around. this is a better place than i was with the last project, i only really pulled something together in the last 2 weeks.

Anyway ... its a project that attempts to show my experience of becoming a parent for the first time and the relationship between me and Ruth.

i have been trying to figure out how to photograph this in a way that isn't too literal.... using lots of different camera's but not really getting anywhere.? this is one of the only images I'm into... there's just something about it.
