A New Perspective.

         'Neglected Fruitbowl' M.Sinnott 2016 I have been meaning to organise myself an exhibition  for years.  It seemed too complicated and remote to contemplate. I remember how much organisation and work it takes to do and it put me off. I have finally  given the idea my serious attention and have organised a                                  'Open House' Exhibition from October 28th.November 5th 2016. I used to be into ceramics but.. I t was impractical  for me  to continue after the birth of my son. Traditional Crafts filled the gap up until t he  growth of the Internet and Digital Art became my focus. I have worked since then to improve my Digital Photography skills. The Exhibition therefore will be made up of Photographic Prints and Displays. I have spent the last six weeks searching my vast library of Photos for favourite pic...
Tax Returns I've been too busy with my Tax return to finish any unnecessary work for the past two months. I lost my Mojo in the various mundane tasks that seemed to dominate January, barely picking up a Pen or using my Camera. I managed a few Photos while at the Canal, but need to organise a few Projects before I can get going again. One Project I'm starting next week was inspired by these  Brutalist Tower Blocks  As I live close to Balfron Tower. The other Photographic Project involves views along Canals around St Katharine Docks. I'm also about Half way through designing a Colouring Book and a large Art project to Decorate a Few Walls in my home, all will be revealed in the fullness of time..In the meanwhile onwards & upwards..

I've also taken a few Seasonal Photos and uploaded the best to Photocrowd .  'Bauble' 2014 Photography takes a lot of time if you are a 'Gifted Amateur' as I am.  Although I've taken thousands of Photographs, including Studio Shoots, I haven't narrowed my interest sufficiently to master any particular genre of Photography. Instead like a Student, I am developing my understanding of how to slow myself down enough to capture the best picture. The evening  Photography Class  with Rick Cordell,  has taught me how to be more technical in my approach to the Subject. It has expanded my understanding of the world of Photographers, more than anything I've studied using the Internet. Online Tutorials have their place in my development too.YouTube has been the best at providing an education in Editing & Printing and the odd P...

Wilmington East Sussex 2014 Sugar Trials Writing this blog feels a little like talking to myself, but with Eavesdroppers. It's unlike the casual chat of Facebook and all, as generally one posts with an expectation of friends reading it. Here, it feel oddly like a therapy session or Confessional.. feel free to comment. Reporting to the Head.. I'm developing a small Printing Business along with making and selling my own Images. I have several ideas to expand my range and get them into shops, all of which will need better time management and a clear Idea of what I need to do. i'm going to use this blog as a record and evaluation of how things are going, having twice weekly,'Mr,Sugar' moments.  I feel I need the discipline of recording the days events, with a view to improving my business skills.  I'm hoping I can use it focus on the daily tasks and improve my work practice.  At the moment I'm concentrating most of my energy into im...
