Guy Fawkes

    Remember remember the 5th of November....

I am delighted to say that I have an exhibition taking place at Travelling Through... Bookshop, Café, Culture Hub and Artspace for the month of November. This is my first exhibition in London.
Private View tomorrow, Friday 6th November, 6.30-8.30pm. Come for a drink and say hi!

The photo above is of the shop window today. It being Guy Fawkes we thought it would be appropriate to have my fireworks prints in full view for passers by. The photographs were taken at last years displays in Brockwell Park and Alexandra Palace.

I tried the technique of long exposure and changing the focus while the shutter is open. It creates some interesting effects. All these shots have been created in camera.

Sparklers

Silly fun with sparklers. 

New Years Celebrations

It's coming up to that time of year when you being to think about christmas and new year celebrations. Two years ago I was lucky enough to celebrate new years in Darmstadt, Germany. In Germany it is legal to sell fireworks for a few days coming up to the 31st. Everyone buys them and us not used to this kind of thing bought loads of them. As I lived in a student apartment block we all headed to the roof to get a full view of the city with fireworks exploding everywhere. It was amazing, so much fun and by far the best new years yet. This year I hopefully will be in Berlin so fingers crossed it'll be just as good as Darmstadt.
