First to mix the Developer, stop bath, and fixer. Then 30 rolls to develop. Not including the colour rolls I need to scan.
Then the scanning of these. Some of which are marked January 2007, others september 07.
The vast amount of which I have no idea whats on them. Some I have labeled from various horse fairs and protests.
This reminds me of Winogrand (I'm not comparing myself), and how he used to wait six month's to develop his films, to aviod bias in the editing process. Because when you think you've made a really good photo at the time, or you felt good at that moment, your personally attached to it, despite the fact it could be a poor picture. But when waiting till you forget that moment you can then look back, with unbiased eyes.
I wonder if he was alive what would he make of the whole modern quick fix phenomenon.
I haven't done this on purpose, I just got lazy, my chemicals went off, and it's only now I'm getting around to developing a new batch.
@Chris: The horse photos are probably the ones I'll do first. I know what you mean the family moments are the ones that most photographers are truly attached to.
I have not seen the movie Once yet, but I heard it's very good.
It's been a while. Just been doing some catching up. Great to see your new stuff (well, what photobucket hasn't fucked up)! Good to see the M6 is treating you well and have a great trip mate!
Hi Seamus Just found your blog via Chris. You've got some really great stuff going on here. I look forward to spending some time catching up. Cheers Mark
Nice page Treamus, Please click on the CASSETTE displayed on my page to listen to the music. Thats me signing and rapping on the first song. I also produced and wrote it. Strange enough, my EX-GIRLFRIEND's brother played the guitar. Things that I mentioned in the song came to pass in real life. Please listen to get the full STORY. I wrote the song but didnt think what I happened to simply create out of exploration of the art would actually happen to me.Please don't forget to VOTE. Over and Out. C.R.I.$.I.$.
overall enjoyed your photos, great eye! I hope I didnt overload you with comments, but when I see something I like I like to let people I know I appreciate...and then I go on to another picture....and i like that one too....
Happy to find you here! By the way don’t listen to that double chined bitch curator. Your photography rocks...you just haven’t met the person who understands it yet. Personally I like your style, I feel like its a window through your eyes. Cheers!
I really enjoy your work. Very casually, circumstantial and comical, it does have meaning! Much to the eye of the interpreter, wonderful. Unfortunately I have crossed over to the dark side of DSLR's and I haven't really gotten the swing of it yet. I think I need to get my ass out of the exhaustingly blah, US and hug my film camera close again.
I really really enjoyed looking at your photos. I don't know what those so-called "curators" were thinking, but your work certainly has depth, humour and grit. Keep at it
