@lcbdepot are going to have a Shop for a few weeks, and we're in it, with a load of other super artists. We have prints and posters for sale, so come along and see what's what. Opens this Friday.

Finding Vivian Maier is a documentary that uncovers the mysterious life of Vivian Maier, a reclusive nanny whose extraordinary street photography was discovered only after her death.

Beautiful print. Why are you not cropping the paper square before printing? You're loosing some free test strip paper, there

Looking forward to being part of the Open Studios 2025 event in Leicester, on 22nd November, 10am-4pm. Come see what we're all about. We'll also have an analog photography kit sale, as well as a print and zine sale. There will also be tea and biscuits.

Thanks for that.

I've been looking for another dev timer. Can you have an agitation alarm on it?

Glitch was originally an unwanted spike on a digital line. The meaning has drifted a bit. It has become a bit of a catch all excuse.

And that's before you list the sports bits.

A black and white darkroom print of some woods. The Ballance of light and dark areas feels natural, and there are interesting details of fauna and rocks.

My mission to improve my darkroom printing is starting to get results. Here's a pic of the cave in Cademan Woods, Leicestershire.

Went to the garage, today, with a rattly exhaust (the car, not me). They fixed it. How much? "Ah, it was simple, no charge for that." Yaaaa, thank you David Lowe Garage of Loughborough.

So, I guess I'm a rosemary farmer, now.

Today's new music genre: Ambient Owl Core. Thank you Kayla Painter.

Went to see art, then went to the pub. Got two new art projects planned. Normal night.

How We Remember Stories The memory of a story appears to have a tree-like structure, with abstract summaries branching out into more specific details.

If you’ve seen Romeo and Juliet, you likely can summarize the plot in a single sentence that appears nowhere in the play. A new physics-inspired theory aims to explain our story-recalling ability by modeling the memory of a story as a hierarchical tree.

I discovered Bark Psychosis, today. That was a nice listen.

Found a car starter handle buried in the garden, today.

Just realised I misread Charlewood as Charnwood.

Did it really hit -0.4C locally, today? I live in Charnwood, and would be interested where the temp sensor was, for this.

A printed picture of an abstract design with a circle with lines emanating, in a curved oblong, surrounded by an image of water.

Today's watergram/luminogram. Getting funky with the designs.

Another mixed watergram and luminogram created in the darkroom, yesterday.

Fatia Faleye & Lewis Bradbury.

Angel Garvey-Hendrickson, Olivia Keates, M Jamera, Jamie Price.

Had fun photographing some of the De Montfort University performing arts students: Yasmin Coleman, Ioana Vasile, Toby Wright, Matilda Overton.

Happy UK equilux.

Walked to the pub through the woods, aiming to return while still light. Failed. Woods by moonlight are fantastic.
Pros: See the familiar woods in a whole new way.
Cons:
Trip up a lot.
May be abducted by fairies.

Juggernaut and bangle, too.

Bishopric

Today's watergram/luminogram. Finally looking like I planned.

I was photographing dance at a school this week. Although exhausting, it was also uplifting. The teachers had endless patients, and you could see how much the kids got out of it, learning teamwork, problem solving, and using their imagination. I felt privileged to document it.

More mixed watergram and luminograms. Using a curved mask, so there is a bit of both in the middle. Using a wet mask damaged this one, and it's tricky getting both sides a similar density. Trial and error. Make lots, as usual.
