Hi all,
Welcome to the Farnham Photography MA blog.
An easy way for us all to communicate, support, "discuss", question and help each other.
At the moment this is open to the world but I can change it if you like?
I do not know ( haven't been able to find out yet ) how big an image we can post so I suggest we restrict images to 600 pixels on the long side. They will still take up a lot of the screen. You can also post links to images in other places if you prefer.
Any questions please ask.
regards,
Richard

Hi everyone, just to let you all know that there is another MA photo student who is yet to join the course. Kanwar Singh is expected to hook up with us on Tuesday. Hope the street studio project went oaky for you.

As promised - an update on three 'exhibitions' I visited on Friday.
The first was the BJP Vision conference - I only went for the morning - several trade stands - free Kodak film (all went in first hour) - a great calibrator - does papers as well as screens - the Colour Munki - £300 to students, so hardly a snip but very competent. Most interestingly, their speaker insisted that despite all the advice to contrary, we make a mistake working in Adobe RBG and that as all printers are effectively limited to the gamut of sRGB, that is th space we should use. Too much to explain in a blog but he promised me a .pdf of his talk, so I wait with bated breath!
There was a timing conflict of the Magnum speaker with Simon Roberts - bad arrangement! Simon was very interesting and described his Motherland project - Russia - and his approach (using a blog to seek advice from internet users) for his latest work on the British at leisure - all on 5x4! Again, happy to discuss if you are interested.
I then ent to the final exhibition at the Newport St site of Photog Gallery - Dryden Goodwin - mentioned by Anna in one of her seminars. Images taken at night in London - several through bus windows in colour - then worked on - the faces - worth looking at his web-site and Google images to see if you feel this effect enhances the work. Phot Gallery moves to Ramilles St (near Oxford Circus) in early Dec.
Then Annie Leibovitz at Nat Portrait Gallery - a Photographers Life - images of her parents through to death of her father - of her own pregancy at 51 and the sebsequent birth of twins (surrogate). Many images of her partner - Susan Sontag - and her breast cancer and relapse and death - very powerful and obviously cathartic for AL but the death images are a lttle intrusive - or seemed to come over that way to the 15 or so I listened to discussing the images (other visitors). Lots of her classic images - actors and politicians and some landscape work. Consludes with the only free bit - four images of the Queen - see the U-tube blog - lots of dissent about whether AL was rude but the video clip strongly suggests the Queen was not really happy about any of it and AL was really very deferential. The images are not a little photoshopped but show her as very regal but now really very old - interesting.
So a good day out - sorry to miss the BA3 presentations.
