I was at Home Farm the other day clearing and tidying around the hide. We’re also starting to feed the birds again.

Some more images from the Ashes series in Cardiff.
A really enjoyable day at the cricket even if Australia had the best of it.
Once again the weather provided the main point of focus for this course as it had done so for the Brecon Beacons. This time it provided us with the full spectrum of a typically unsettled period.
Here are the two images that Meg wanted to see (previous post comment)
It’s been a while since the last post. We’ve been away at Cheddar Gorge. The weather was with us and lots of images were taken.
After visiting the hugely impressive photography department at Falmouth, Nia and I went on to Lizard Point, the most southerly place on the British mainland.
It’s difficult to keep looking at contemporary images all day, everyday, year in year out and remain fresh all the time with the looking. Just recently I’ve been to a good number of exhibitions and at universities it’s now final show time.
There’s a good exhibition on at the moment, it’s in St. Donats Art Centre that showcases the work of Bert Hardy and the time he spent for Picture Post in Tiger Bay, Cardiff, in the early 1950’s.

We took a group of students to the National Media Museum last week.
The third area we’ve taken students to recently is Trefil Quarry, on the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park.

We took a group of students to Laycock Abbey today, an essential for anyone interested in the history of photography.
A really committed group worked the falls today and produced some fine results. We visited two locations around Ystradfellte and thoroughly explored many possible ways to photograph water.
Last night I gave a presentation on environmental portraiture to The Porthcawl and Pyle Photographic Society. During the evening a couple of questions were raised about how a judge would respond to a number of the images I was showing.
I was up in Liverpool over Easter and finally managed to get to Chambre Hardman’s studio at 59 Rodney Street.
The first in a series of walks I’m running with Caerphilly CCBC has come and gone and we were furtunate to have a really fine spring day.
