It’s been quite a while since my last post. Unfortunately. 

I’ve been working on Press Issue Two - coming soon. 

And some more projects looking at public privacy. There a few pieces floating around, but nothing finished yet.  Hopefully i’ll have something sorted in the near future. 

So having started repetitively walking along the Regents Canal through central London, today I walked as far as a felt like I wanted to in one trip. Turned out to be more than 9 miles. I also took my camera with me. Having previously produced a small body of work based on The New River, I am touching on the idea of documenting the canal.

Naturally I am drawn to water as a way of relaxing, and currently I have had a need to relax and be peaceful, walking also helps with this. 

This process had become a way of therapy with a potential set of photographs as an output at the ‘end’, it may be a continuous exploration. 

I cannot say for sure, but I will photograph as I go and see what develops. 

I also decided to FINALLY have a look over my first roll of film through my [then] new camera. Photographs from a walk on Hampstead Heath. I don’t think anything will come of them, but just putting them out there for people to see. But not as a finished project. Sometimes artists/photographers fear showing their build up to work or little snaps (or so it feels to me) but I think everybody can learn from seeing contact sheets, bad shoots, failed rolls and just unsuccessful work. 

Having recently moved house it’s been a bit of time since i’ve done some auto photos. I think they’re an informative way of looking at how a person can respond to an area; what particular things in that area interest someone, but also what things within a person’s personality command attention to certain objects, colours or forms.

I intend to photograph with as little input as possible, hence using  disposable camera, but during the shooting process there is unconscious influence, and during the ‘editing’ process, there is a vague but inherent sense of attraction to certain images. Much more than that, at this point is negligible.
