Doges City, We have landed.

Riding on the vaporetto along the Grande Canal at dusk always evokes an amazing sense of tranquility, like no other place, but comparable to say, the river taxis on the Bosphorus, or the Star ferries in Hong Kong. You know you are in a special place. Venice is a city steeped in history going back centuries, a meeting point for traders from the East and the West, the Doges, the Palaces and Carnival. We start our photo-workshop tomorrow with a group of eager photographers, with a special agenda lined up over the next few days.

Snow White

More snow fell last evening, so I had to post these taken this morning in Wimbledon Common. There were many dog-walkers and the occasional jogger enjoying the near magical scenery.

Venice at Carnevale : There’s still time!

Just preparing our workshop for Venice in 2 week’s time. I hear it’s absolutely freezing so we’ll be prepared for cold weather photography. Plenty of hot chocolate and pasta. There’s still time to get flights if anyone’s keen on joining! Bring a sleeping bag if accommodation is scarce. It’ll be a fantastic trip, the last time I was in the canal city was in 2006 so it’s about time we made another trip. The Bellini is calling.

Night moves

Photographing shadows in the night. I sometimes shoot under street lighting in the night. Shadows of trees cast moving figures against stone walls, like giant shadow puppets swaying in the breeze.

Explorenation Alumni Opening Evening : So Far, The Future Gallery, London

Click to view slideshow.

Thank you to all that attended, it was a great evening at So Far, The Future gallery. Thank you to Rebecca and Andreas, the gallery owners too. Do pop by and we will be holding another reception from 12 noon this Saturday 26th November. The exhibition runs until the 30th November 10 to 6 pm. The photographs look amazing when printed, framed and displayed in a gallery setting, and we hope to do more of these gallery sessions next year, as I think it is important to display images on a wall and appreciate them in this format rather than looking at them on screen.
