Well Religious Studies has closed at Thermostat now. It was really a great show and in such a nice gallery too. I've been looking for an image to post, but I really can't find something that I'd like to, so I won't. It has been that way for a few months now. Photo taking has taken second place to application making and concept development. Plus the few films that I have sitting around with photos on them, I haven't yet sent off to get developed - something to look forward to though as I think I'll send them off this week. I do think that the down time of photographing is a very important one, time to truly contemplate the ideas through and to rest as well. However, I finally have taken my 8 x 10 camera out of ‘lounge conversation piece’ and into camera operation, after I took the first images on it last week and processed the negs too. I am yet to contact print them, but when I do, I'll post them on here! A few early experiments on an idea, so it will be interesting to see how they've really turned out, especially on a new camera, and doing tray processing of large format film for the first time ever.

I have been busy reading some great books too, ones that I've meant to read for a long time, the current being Susan Sontags On Photography. Although it was written in the late 70's it's a great read on how Photography fits into the art world, its history and its philosophy.

I'll hopefully have some great images coming this way soon.

The Saturday just past was the opening of the exhibition Religious studies. It runs till the 20th of September, it's a fantastic show and well worth seeing.
