Hello people! These were taken at Steampunk Funk on the tenth day of December, the year of our Lord two thousand and eleven, at bar 78. Brought to yous all by these guys amongst others.

The blue specks on one or two of the pictures are the result of rust from the newly recommissioned plumbing of the purpose built darkroom sink at the Old Print Works, colour inversed in the scan.

They are the first analogue photo products to come out of the place for a long time. I thought I’d leave the rust accident alone as it’s more- well- steampunk, maybe…

I’m doing prints of the pictures for sale: £12 for 5″x7″, £18 for 10″x8″, including postal or local to Balsall Heath delivery. Drop me a line! I hope you like.

from life

on the way to buy fresh vegetables,
sweeping moth powder
from the bed frame,
early morning light
on light switches
on a garish towel;

the sky and the frames of our place.

retouched in lightroom)

Godsiff, Yaqoob and the two Josef(ph)s

I imagine you can make up your own mind on this one: a leaflet through my door in Balsall Heath, comparing one candidate to Stalin, printed by another candidate. Someone appears to be resorting to last minute propaganda. Unless it’s a double bluff.

Is it defamatory? Probably not, but it’s kind of outrageous… New Labour?

Jesus Festival Exhibiton

Here is a link to the web-publicity for my forthcoming show at Solihull Gallery. The images are from the Maloula Jesus Festival. I’ll post again closer to the time with more news about the show as it comes together.

On another note, you can see these two images in ‘the flesh’, at the Gas Hall Gallery at BMAG until the 6th of May, as part of the selection for the West Midlands Open 2010. There’s some great work on show and it’s well worth a visit.

Exhibition details can be found here.

Nine Cuban Photographs

Just in case you’re not there already, here’s a couple of images from my current show at Moseley Exchange, Birmingham, Nine Cuban Photographs.

Posting during the private view is a bit current perhaps, but you can extrapolate backwards from there if you wish. The private view is happening as I write, and the pictures will be up for about a month.

Come and have a look. All images are for sale!
