Current Projects – Jan 2012

SEVEN STORIES

I am currently working with Seven Stories, the national home of children’s books, to produce an exciting new exhibition based on the work of Julia Donaldson (author of The Gruffalo). I am developing the audio/visual elements of the exhibition, which will include projections, audio listening posts, TV screens and an interactive jukebox featuring songs written by the author.

The exhibition opens in late March and runs through to February 2013. If you visit Newcastle and you have kids (or just love books) I recommend you pay Seven Stories a visit.

BEACON HILL ARTS

Beacon Hill Arts is an amazing organisation, working with people of all ages and abilities to help them realise their artistic aspirations. I am currently developing a new Beacon Hill Arts website which will showcase their award-winning work and provide visitors with information on how they can get involved.

Voted the UK’s best lottery funded arts project, BHA have won numerous awards for the short films which participants wrote, produced, filmed and starred in themselves.

Welcome to my Blog

This will mostly be a place for me to highlight current projects I’m working on and write about the things I love in the world of art, design, film and photography. I work from home so I also spend a lot of time looking after my two young sons. I blog about that too and you can read about what we get up to over at wwww.takenpictures.co.uk.

I will be writing occasional “Spotlight” posts to give some insight into the websites, services, software and hardware that I use everyday in my work. I may also post about some of the great designers I’ve discovered online whose work I continue to love and envy in equal measure.

I’m hoping to make my first “Spotlight” post about the iOS app Instagram. It’s not really something I use for my work granted, but I do use it a lot and I think it has some really interesting things to teach us about photography’s role in social media. Hopefully I’ll have that post up and running in a day or two. So please check back soon. In the meantime if you are on Instagram you can follow me @takenpictures.

If you are currently reading this on a blog that looks nothing like the rest of my site, don’t worry I’m going CSS on this blog’s ass very soon.

Thanks for reading.
