A Road Called Home

Newspaper - Dinner A Day

I have been working on this for some time now, only now have I finally got around to finishing it. The colours are a little washed out, especially in comparison to the website versions, but overall I think I am happy with the paper.

I ordered this at about 1pm on Tuesday (17th Jan) and it arrived 10am on Thursday (19th Jan), that is not a bad turnaround in my opinion.

I have also been working on a Kindle version, just as a test to see how easy it is to create and how the format adapts a photo publication - especially when shown on a black and white display.

Bryan Heseltine

Whilst in Oxford the other week, I took the opportunity to visit the People Apart: Cape Town Survey 1952 exhibition in the Long Gallery at the Pitt Rivers Museum. There were some great photos on display, clearly Heseltine was a talented photographer.

I did, however, have two issues regarding the exhibition. Firstly, there was a lack of signs pointing towards, or even identifying the work as being the Long Gallery. Secondly, but in a similar vein, it was in a small corridor next to the toilets. Whilst I was there, the only people who glanced at the work were those rushing past it with other agendas. I guess that must be what Oxford University think of photography...

Still, it was good to see some alternative work by a lesser known individual.

Dissertation Proposal

David Hockney Limerick.

There was an old man from Bradford,

Who one day released the cable cord,

It was only then that he noticed,

That traditional one-dimensional focused,

Photography made him very bored!

Ok, so poetry was never my strong point, but you get the idea. By the end of play today I will hopefully have on paper exactly where my dissertation is heading.

Distractions

Rather than doing the work that needs to be done for the Dissertation module, I decided to spend today thinking about marketing and design for the Professional & Community Practice module. One thing led to another and, before I knew what had happened, I was hooked on QR codes.

This QR code is for Izzy's 'in my eyes.' website. I have updated the site today to include some of her digital 'drawings'. She's already better than me!

I am currently mulling over whether to include a QR code on my new business card, in place of my website address. Not sure whether I will end up going with one in my final design, but it has certainly given me food for thought and some welcome distraction from the more pressing matters in hand.

Now I really must get on with the Dissertation work...
