Photography in Eastbourne Shop Window
A few weeks ago I entered some of my photography of the Eastbourne carnival into a competition to be featured in an empty shop in the town centre that was being renovated by the group Eastbourne Can.
Some of the photos made it into the window and here are some of the photos of the lovely display.

Experimental Animation
Our latest project has been to create an experimental animation.
Our teacher for this project is Max Hattler; an experimental animator.
In groups of three we were given a shape and a colour to respond to.
Our group had circle and green to dark green.
After taking initial photographs around college we realised we were all really interested in texture and the layering of texture - we began to take close up photos of vegetables and natural objects.
In our first sequences we put together, we began layering up the images and altering the opacity, however this made the whole thing pretty wishy washy.
We then completely changed the process and began using concentric circles moving towards and away from the screen with different textures, which we felt was far bolder.
Here are some screen shots of the animation so far.
Still need to work on an ending and the combinations of textures.

Elliott Erwitt at the Cochrane Theatre
On the 21st Feb I went to go see the iconic photographer Elliott Erwit be interviewed in the Cochrane Theatre. I have to admit I didnt know him too well before I heard about the show but when i started researching his work I recognised so many of his images I felt frustrated I hadn't known him more before now.
The show featured Erwitt being interviewed and talking through many of his images which were very subtly humurous. I felt the interviewer was really annoying and thought Erwitt knew it too and compensated very well for this; making jokes that the put the interviewer firmly back in his place.
Erwitt seems such an honest guy who really draws inspiration from everything around him and his views on photography in the digital age were also really interesting.
Afterwards he came out and signed stuff for people. However it was quite sad when this woman came up and said she worked with him at Magnum in the 60's and he had no recollection of her whatsoever, but then again I'm sure he's met so many people throughout his long life.
Overall it was a real inspiration to see this interview.
