End of an Era, Start of a New
Well it’s been over two years since my last post! Really never intended for that to happen but what do you do?
So where have I been and what have I been doing? Aside from work not a lot. I had a period of about 10 months where I barely even picked up a camera. I had some personal things going on and well, I guess that was enough to not want to shoot.
After some conversations with friends I come around, picked up a Fujifilm X100F and for the last few months shooting almost non stop.
End of an Era
For those who follow my social, blog or know of my work. You’ll know my main body of work has been my ‘Home’ Project. Well after almost 10 years of shooting and over 10k images, its time to wrap it up.
I started to document my family because, well I had a camera and it just happened, it wasn’t for a couple of years in that I decided to make it a project with the intent to publish a very limted run of books for family and close friends.
Fast fowrad another 8 years and its still going! A part of me is glad as there are so many memories captured… And a part of me that thats gutted because in the time I’ve been shooting we’ve had losses in our family who will never get to see the book.
Its been a huge part of my life, and an honor to have documented my family the way I have, and I can’t wait to finally have a book to show my effort.
Now I’ll take the time to try and edit the work down (this is no small task) and hopefully soon produce a small run of books.
Here are a small selection of images from over the years.
New Era
So with my Home project coming to its end, whats next?
I’d like to finish my project ‘Sand between you toes’ this summer, well at least have all of the images taken and edit for a Zine.
’One Click From Home’
Since we moved to Oxfordshire in 2020, I started a project with a friend that was put on hold and actually forgot about until recently.
The idea of the project initially was to shoot within a 1km Radius of home. This has been the perfect project to get me back out and taking pictures again. In this limited radius of my house, there isn’t a great deal of places to shoot so it really forces you to look around and find the small points of interest.
I don’t think I have much more to contribute to this body of work but once done I’ll be publishing this in another Zine too.
Here is a small selection of images so far.
I’m going to try posting with more frequency again like years gone by so thanks for taking time to read and hope to have some Zines out in the near future!
Cheers!
