Meetup Group Talk

Yesterday I ran a kind of cut-down version of my street photography workshop for the London Photographic Meetup Group. They seemed like a keen bunch and during the talk, laughed in all the right places, which is always reassuring. Thanks to the organisers, Tom and Alex, for looking after me.

This was my first time using Stage Hand a super useful iPhone / iPod Touch app for controlling Keynote on the laptop over wi-fi – it worked well and I recommend it.

The All New

I’ve had the 5D Mk 2 since late last year but somehow managed to avoid posting any pictures here. This is one I shot with an old manual lens which I’m using just to make my life more difficult.

The dates for the next running of the Street Photography Workshop have been set (June 6 & 20) and I’m also starting a new, two-day video introduction course (May 12 & 19) mainly covering Final Cut Express. [Pic]

Street Photo Workshop 2008 – no. 2

The first running of this year’s Street Photography Workshop is underway but there are still places available on the next. [Update: We had to change the original August dates and it is now due to run on the 13th & 27th of September]. Details should be on the Photofusion website soon.

Summer Street Photo Workshops

I’m running a Street Photography Workshop in London next month. The format will be the same as last year – two Saturdays with a weekend in between (28 June & 12 July). Photofusion are hosting as previously and you can read more details on their web site, or you can contact me if you have more questions. If this is of interest, you might also enjoy this new video which shows Bruce Gilden at work on the streets of New York.

Workshop at Photofusion: Street Photography

I’m running the Street Photography workshop for Photofusion again. The last one was fun, the feedback was good and you can see some of the participants’ photos here. It runs over two Saturdays (22 Sep / 6 Oct) with 2 weeks in-between to give time for practice. You can find more details on the Photofusion site or feel free to contact me if you want to discuss.

Street Photography Workshop

I’m leading a Street Photography Workshop at Photofusion which runs on two Saturdays in July (7th and 21st) with time in-between for practice. Among the plus points is that it’s a small group of participants. There are more details on the Photofusion site and it’s half-full already so if you’re interested but have questions, feel free to contact me. Update: another has been scheduled. Update 2: I’m planning to run it again in the summer.

Digital Photography Courses London

This is mainly a plug for a course I’m running at Photofusion in October but as ever, you can ignore the text and just look at the picture (click to enlarge). The course is called ‘Starting Digital Photography’, it runs for three days (3, 4, 5th October) and is aimed at people who want to get the most from their digital SLR and an introduction to Photoshop. More details on the Photofusion page. The course is limited to eight people but if you’d prefer something more tailored, or shorter, I also do one-to-one tuition.

Broken Bronica

This was the last picture I took with my expensive medium format Bronica rangefinder before it broke. The film advance lever snapped inside. Pretty poor I thought. I’m going to attempt to fix it myself at some point.

Last weekend I went on an inspiring workshop run by Paul Trevor.
