Getting Things In A Row

I seem to be going through a quiet patch - I could say something about "a period of consolidation" if I want to sound self-important. Been spending most of my time recently doing dull, but probably necessary, things like archiving my negatives and making a new portfolio, rather than actually taking any photographs.

Of course that's freed up more time for important stuff like telly! I'm sticking by my previous endorsement of The Wire as a work of rare genius - and will add in a recommendation for the miniseries that preceded it, The Corner - totally subtle, brilliant, and devastating. I've also been sucked into Veronica Mars, which is valiantly doing that Buffy thing of being so very dark and clever under a shiny genre cover (teen detective in sunny CA!).

In photo news, sad to hear that AgfaPhoto seem set to go out of business - all the Dungeness pictures were shot on their APX100 film stock, which I like a lot. On a personal plus, the Day In The Life exhibition has been confirmed for Edinburgh in April, and also the British Association Festival of Science in September 2006 - I'm also being commissioned to expand it with four new subjects. Really happy about all that.
