A few photographs from the last couple of days...
I have been accidently taking photos on slide film instead of normal film and this means I have to send them off and pay a lot of money that doesn't exist in my bank account.
... however I am curious about how negatives that are not actually negatives look like.

Bruce Davidsons photos are REALLY REALLY good.
He inspires me and excites me!

Two weekends ago my church from back home (St Peters) went on a weekend away.
Obviously I felt the need to document all of this.
Then on Tuesday, after eating a pork and apple baguette, Rachel and I spent 5 hours tying fishing wire through all of them.
And God saw that it was good.

Anyway... I thought her photographs were worth sharing because they are glorious.

Back Home!

I cant believe its Easter already. This year has flown past. Today was another perfect day.... A barbeque and baking cup cakes, painting eggs and tea with Charlotte.

Fun!

Linoprints

These are some lino-prints that I made in a print workshop on Wednesday and I did some extras for Mothers day.

It was inspired by William Kentridge (whom I really like) and its this photo that I took as part of the four images for the 48 hour project.

These were just a few of the practices I did before deciding how to go about drawing the flower:
