The other day I saw a tweet from Jonathan Worth about a video conversation with Graham Macindoe - a photographer based in New York, which was part of the PHONAR open photography class at Coventry University. I am a massive fan of the work done by the team at Coventry and have written and spoken [...]
My partner Tim Gray has a new photographic exhibition opening today (15th October 2012) at the Glasgow Mackintosh Church as part of the First Creative Mackintosh Festival. The Exhibition shows some of the photographs from Tim's End of History photographic project which records and documents the portraits of re-enactors involved in living history societies throughout [...]
Whilst listening to the change11 mooc broadcast on dltv today I was also making some art dammit for ds106. I was listening to Stephen Downes talking about the fact that when conversations happen between people who are 'well' connected -others are left out. I thought it was very interesting that Stephen seemed to feel disconnected [...]
It's been a challenging few weeks for us as a family thinking about the future and what it may bring, in many ways, so I have found refuge in working with my photos (always theraputic for me). The other day I published some photographs I made as part of ds106 visualassignment13 which were the result [...]
This is a follow-on post to the one I did for DS106 on averaging of photos which was for visual assignment 13. That post included a tutorial on how to use picassa to average out 50 photos taken from a flickr search. In that post I illustrated how to use an averaged image to enhance [...]
I am currently deciding what to do for the video assignment for ds106. So many things to try. I'm undecided as yet but wanted to share some old videos (made in 2007). These have been blogged before when I made them but the reason I wanted to include them as a ds106 post is because [...]

If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away. Henry David Thoreau Love Henry David Thoreau quotes but using this as my excuse for not keeping up with the daily shoot [...]
Dr Oblivion has either gone into hiding or may have been abducted but we must keep his virtual profile alive or he may fade into nothing. We can't let that happen. Dr Oblivion Exits... I made this by lazily taking the graphic from the poster on the blog post linked to above. I cut it, [...]
One of the ds106 assignments is to produce an image by averaging photos in flickr according to a concept. Timmmmyboy has produced a great tutorial which uses photoshop. I have made some of these several years ago (2006) - the first one by accident when I was using picasa. I had accidentally selected 40 inmages [...]
I've just remembered a photo story I did years ago so I thought it would be worth revisiting for the ds106 digital storytelling course. I am also hoping to produce some more as I get inspired by the course.... The set is called to have and have not... anticipation.... She remembered the first caress [...]
I have a dilemna due to using a Creative Commons (CC) licence on one of my photographs on flickr. The photo is part of a project that I did in 2006 for the flickr UTATA group which aimed to tells the positives and negatives of having aspergers syndrome to increase awareness of the realities and [...]
