Beltaine

On the saturday morning met up with the others on the beach. There to catch a fleeting image of the Sun through the clouds. Marking the mid point between the Sun's progress between the spring Equinox and the summer solstice

It's always greener on the other side

Though I wish it was that simple as this quiz from http://www.whoshouldyouvotefor.com/ shows. I've only manged to be able to vote green in a general election once when I was living in London. Democracy is not transparent or fair which is how it reflects life.

All ears over to Myspace...

It was only matter of time...but I have some audio pieces situated at http://www.myspace.com/eyeresearch under the moniker of Eyeresearch.

No there's not much drums or any words in this genre but so far four tracks of an ambient industrial nature I have posted on there. Using just the computer and some software that is my instrument of choice and as low tech as I can get in this time of life.

Been caught walking!

Whilst having a look on Google maps I find myself caught on the streetview section of where I live. Not once but twice as I am pictured further along the road. Yes that's me in the center with the light blue t shirt. They did make a good job of blurring my face. I recall the car with the strange looking dome shaped camera sticking out of its roof

Obtaining footage from CCTV camera would never be so easy...but fame atlast

Another view

The same view but shown as a spectrum

A sound picture indeed?

This morning I had just loaded a soundscape I had made from yesterday into the computer. This is where I found out what it looked like. A landscape reflected onto the surface of a lake perhaps?

since you last heard from me

Sounding it out. Sequences of sounds to run alongside sequences of images.

The Metropolitan Police attempting to re write history?

The Metropolitan Police are requesting that all imagery of its officers hiding or obscuring their badges be removed from photo libraries or image databases.

Yule like this...

Another year and another Xmas...

Winter Solstice

We are at the furthest distance from the sun

return is now inevitable

There's a change in the air

I've got to get this done before the tide comes in...

Were the literal words of the man pictured doing this repair work to sea defences on Gorleston beach last week. Last week on a late afternoon repairing storm damage from earlier in the year. It's all a question of time isn't?

Oh what a performance....

Flegg High School Martham last week

Engaging with the landscape

On sunday I walked from Hopton on Sea to Southwold and back. This round journey took fourteen hours to complete. A distance that I would roughly equate to walking to Norwich from the village I live in. The time and the distance themselves alone being secondary to what I wanted to achieve. Which was to actively engage myself with the landscape through experience for narratives. By that I mean rather than blandly just stand there and indiscriminateatly take images try to activly intereact with the landscape itself. A photograph could just be something you take just from the inside of a car or from a building.
This shoreline is very interesting in the way it negotiates its existance with the all pervasive sea. Pictured above is a dead tree still standng at South Cove on the way to Southwold. In the distance you could make out the spire of St Edmunds and Southwold pier. Even Sizewell nuclear power station was visible from here.

Must start to use a tent to achieve greater distances. But travel light and life becomes easier. I was using just a two megapixel Kodak camera and my Pentax P30T film SLR. On this day there was very little cloud until walking back on this sunny summers day. This journey needs to be repeated for the reasons of what was missed, to be continued, a change of weather and the time of day.

In passing (part 2)

Democracy is a joke...

Atleast I had the chance to vote Green in the european elections...as for the local elections what a sham...just a choice of three non entities who don't represent anything that I stand for...I had hoped that the sploit ballot papers might have got through...but alas...

Sorry for the late news...

In passing (part 1)

Week before last I showed three films at the Club Uniquity at Someleyton. Sitting at the back watching the people I am reminded why I like making films. Good to meet Jason Parr who I will also be making a film with in the near future. Also a sculptor he was playing some music and performing one of his poems. He also like me plays more than one talent for creativity. I met more poeple I hadn't seen for ages. It's good to get out there and press the flesh.

In Reflection...

The path forward

Clear evidence of the ever tangible erosion of the East Anglian coastline. Only recently my footsteps contributed to this groove in the grass on the cliffs. The newer footpath being used is seen on the right of the picture. Till that falls into the sea as well in due course. As will the village of Corton which can be seen in the distance. Consulting the cpies I have of the first ordinance survey map of 1883 there was more houses which have fallen into the sea. Infact from that map you can clearly see how much even in that short space of time what has been given to the sea.
