On the 22nd June I’ll be saying goodbye to the gallery in Northallerton. For 6-months, I have really enjoyed being surrounded by outstanding landscape photography, working on calendar and greetings cards production; two major trade shows and having the opportunity to work alongside Joe in his digital studio. One thing I won’t miss, the weekly 3-4 hour drive to and from my base in the Chilterns to Northallerton. If you love landscape photography, put the Joe Cornish Gallery on your list of ‘100 Things to Do Before You Die’; and do it now…......you never know!
My April workshop was a great success. We started at dawn and finished at sunset with time off for good behaviour at mid-day! Workshop participants made some great photographs - almost all digital - and had a thoroughly enjoyable day. Watch out for these pictures going into the Gallery.
Large Format Workshops will feature the MPP MkVI Micro-Technical camera mentioned last month; despite it being a 1950’s vintage, the only maintenance needed was a shutter service. They don’t make them like that anymore - unless they are an Ebony SU or SW. Enjoy your photography…....
Seeing and Creating pictures is an art and an art and an art: oh yes and a skill too. Sometimes I don’t have the opportunity to get out there - wherever ‘out-there’ might be - and so where I am is the best place to be. When I’m out, I usually carry a Ricoh GX100 or an Ixus 75. More recently, I’ve had an iPhone and played around with what it can do to stimulate creativity and seeing. Now, I’m not touting my iPhone pics as great art - but they are different. I’ve put a few in the gallery.
