Definition of a good night . . .

listening to City and Colour with copious amounts of alcohol and good company.

if anyone hasn't checked out City and Colour then do. i wish it hadn't taken me so long

A Softer World

I realised whilst looking through my blog today that i post alot of photos but don't really say what i'm actually doing with them.

For my Final Negotiated Project i am doing a photographic journey of Everyday life in Ost Berlin. I'm hoping the outcome of this will be a book and possibly an exhibition.

My good friend Owen showed me a website called A Softer World a few months back and its inspired me ever since. This site is always in the back of my mind when i'm developing my book so hopefully that gives you an insight into my final piece.

I'll hopefully put some development work and experiments soon.

"Ich Bin Ein Berliner"

"I Am A Doughnut"

1 euro camera

Whilst in Berlin i went to a second hand store in Friedrichshain and found a box of old cameras. I bought a camera that looks like its from the early nighties for 1 euro but didn't really expect it to work. Clearly the Soviets knew a thing or two about producing cameras because this is the best camera i have ever owned. I teamed it up with some cheap expired 400iso film for the results below. check it:



Ich liebe Berlin

Sleep all day . . . Drink the life away

I've come to the conclusion that i probably need to get some soup, sit in an office and sort my life out. Oh, and whistle more.

So i figured . . .

. . . i haven't updated this in a while.
Went to Berlin for a project entitled "Life in the East," this mainly involved taking photos of everyday life in East Berlin and consuming large quantities of beer and veggie burgers. Good times.

I'm pretty lazy when it comes to uploading photos so heres a few i particularly enjoy:


These were taken on an actionsampler camera and a holga k200 camera.
