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.
