Art & Photography - Blipfoto Journal
June 6th, 2010 Doug
Recently, after much deliberating, I purchased a digital SLR camera. I’ve often used photographs as part of my collecting and researching, but until now have never taken it very serious, preferring to sketch instead.
As well as recording and collecting for my art work, I’ve found myself enjoying taking photographs of a variety of subjects, and I’ve been looking for a way to use them. I’ve always enjoyed photography (my original college training, what seems a very long time ago!) and often find myself seeing good photo opportunities.
After a recent discussion about the merits of a disciplined approach to taking pictures with artist and photographer Alastair Cook, I’ve set up an online journal with Blipfoto. The website allows you to upload one photograph per day which will, hopefully, encourage me to keep looking for interesting subjects to record.
Click on the photograph below to link to my Net Mender Studio Journal. I’ll be posting new images on a regular basis, and will use my Facebook and Twitter pages to promote them. Hope you enjoy the pictures!
By the way, for anyone who is interested, the camera is a Nikon D90.
