Low Winter Sun

Midday at West Kirby ... this picture is really all about the people on the horizon. Who you can't see at this size on the web. Oh.

As a bit of a project to occupy myself during the long dark winter days ahead I'm in the process of learning to make digital negatives for platinum / palladium printing ... weirdly attracted to the idea of using a digital route to get to a 19th century chemical process print. It's also the sort of thing that I just like learning how to do, although I have to restrain myself often from delving into anything that comes along ... curiosity would be a much better character trait if you didn't have to sleep.

Anyway, I'll let you know how I get on.

Or, if it's a complete disaster, never mention it again.

I'm only really posting this as Susan's blog from yesterday reminded me of it, and it seemed like a weird adjunct. Just swap the Mojave desert for the Yorkshire Moors.

For anyone in NW England, this is the last week to see the big Rene Burri retrospective at the Manchester Art Gallery. Free entry and highly recommended.

I've managed to shoot quite a lot in the last week or two, so I think I'll leave it there and go and deal with the backlog of film!
