This is a private blog site to support the Photography AS/A2 classes I run in Bournemouth - I use it to share ideas, research, useful (I hope!) material, and point out good photography stuff on the web.
When I can I will add other relevant content - exam materials, handouts, etc. If you can think of something that should be here feel free to let me know. Some pages may end up being password protected….
If you think you should have access to the site, please get in touch.

Right – I’m back…
Posted on November 15th, 2009 No commentsSorry about last week – some sort of unnamed viral infection, apparently. Hope you all got the message in time, and managed to do something profitable.
This week I need to catch up with whatever progress you have made with your theme ideas (GCSE and AS/A2), then look at a group critique in a couple of weeks. I really want to look at your burgeoning portfolios too!
Speaking of which I would appreciate anyone who did the GCSE last year letting me borrow a portfolio or two as example for current class.
Some of you will have heard of the New Topographics – well worth a look. The original exhibition has been recreated – commentary is accessible, and does set out what this exhibition identified – a radical mood swing in how we photograph landscape. http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/arts/la-ca-photos15-2009nov15,0,6215740.story – link to some photos at top right of their page.
Also having problems with this blogging software – can’t get it to accept any more email addresses for some reason, so some of you won’t be getting the email alert – sorry.
And – just heard that BAl has had another virus problem, and method of loading your images will now be long and tedious – so worth considering other ways of showing and sharing work. in the Spring term we will need to be able to bring in large image files for printing – but we can get away with small web versions for now. Some of you use Flickr, and I did set up a Flickr group three years ago that no-one used. How would you feel about using Flickr to share images across the class? It would be private, although I’m tempted to mix GCSE and AS/A2. Let me know this week please.
