Dave Peck cunningly shot a time-lapse video of us all hanging our latest exhibition at Loughton Library. The video was shot on a Canon 7D which was taking one shot every 5 seconds.

Can a picture be Cursed ?....Part 2
Having previously established that one of my photographs was clearly evil and did not want to leave the house. I had decided to replace it for my latest exhibition.
The strange thing is that it turned out that the new portrait image was exactly the right orientation for the display. If I had gone with the original landscape image the hanging would have looked completely wrong.
Even weirder, no sooner had I hung the new picture up than someone asked to buy it!
Clearly, it wasn't a cursed picture it was just trying to stop me doing the wrong thing.
Spooky!!!

(not an evil picture after all, just a very helpful one)

Can a picture be cursed?
My latest exhibition opens on Thursday so, of course, there has been lots to do with pictures to frame and labels to write, etc, etc.
I have explained how I mount and frame pictures before, it;s not a particularly complicated process and each part just takes a few minutes. I printed a batch of photos at 12"x18" then left them for a few days to let those gasses out.
Framing and mounting progressed as normal: clean the glass, mount the picture, drop the picture into the frame, check it, spot some dust on the glass, clean the glass, put the picture back in the frame,check it, spot some dust on the glass, clean the glass, put the picture back in the frame,check it, spot some dust on the glass, clean the glass, put the picture back in the frame, finally decide enough is enough seal up the back of the frame.
This was how it went for all but one picture, this shot just wouldn't line up with the mount correctly. It took about 20minutes to do what should have taken a few seconds, I then put it in the frame, did the traditional glass cleaners dance and sealed up the back. I then realised I hadn't signed & numbered it. So out it came, a quick signature, drop it back into the frame, turn it over to check for dust and then turn it over only to discover the glass had broken!
By this time I am jolly miffed with this picture and I decide to leave it & come back to it later.
A week passes and I have another go at framing it. I grab a spare frame, drop the picture into it turn it over and the F*!%**ing glass has broken! I never break the glass on my frames and now 2 have gone on the same picture. A frantic phone call and trip to the glazers ensue and then I have 2 new pieces of glass.
By this time I have decide the phot is cursed and the only person who is likely to buy it is Linda Blair or Damien from the Omen. So I print a different picture, mount it & frame it with no problem at all!
Below is the picture I ended up framing - I won't show you the accursed one as it may bring down my website.

Painters with Light Exhibition at the Octagon
I have just got back from hanging the latest exhibition by The Painting with Light Society - it is at the Octagon in Colchester.
In to the Octagon
I thought I would share a few pictures of the exhibition as I think it looks great. It took four of us three hours to hang the exhibition and there was hardly any swearing involved at all!
Dave Peck admiring the finished Exhibition
The East Wall
Dave Peck & Ian Flindt share a joke
The complete exhibition
The exhibition runs till August with a launch night on the 22nd of May. The Octagon is an office building shared by many companies. The staff and visitors pass through the exhibition on their way to the building from the carpark.
If you wish to visit the exhibition its fine to go between 8.30 and 6 workdays. Just go in the main doors and ask to be pointed in the right direction for the exhibition. If you want to go at the weekend we need to contact The Octagon to arrange.
If this is not convenient then, don't worry as the exhibition will be moving to a public library later in the year.

Painters with Light Gallery Owners Presentation
The Painting with Light team get quite a few enquiries from gallery owners about exhibitions and being visually orientated folk we decided to create a presentation about the group and its work. Dave Peck did all the hard work, designing and building a powerpoint presentation to showcase our work.
The thing is, powerpoint is not really a format you want to stick on the web. So I have used authorPoint Lite to convert the presentation to flash and then stuck it on some spare webspace. If you get a spare few minutes, why not take a look at the Painitng with Light Society Gallery Owners Presentation and let me know what you think.

For these poor souls I have created LEMON for Access 97, I hope you find it of use.
And for no apparent reason here is a picture I took in Southwark Cathedral the other day as part of my Friday Lunchtime Project:

I've got a gig
As mentioned in a previous blog I have decided to try avoiding the conventions of photography when it comes to exhibiting my work.
Not for me the conventional exhibition, no I've got myself a music gig. I will be exhibiting my pictures as part of a charity concert for Haven House Hospice, pictures will be available at special pricing and for each photograph sold £10 goes to the Hospice.
If you can come along it would be great to see you there:

We got an award!
Well September has only just started and it's a pretty fine month in my opinion. After an August where events conspired to stop me taking hardly any pictures at all, I managed to get down to Leigh-on-Sea for the dawn on Saturday morning and capture some interesting light.

In addition I am chuffed to bits that this site has been awarded "website of the month" by Outdoor Photography magazine. It's actually for the October issue but magazines being what they are the issue is out now. A big welcome to all those hundreds (indeed hundreds, I checked my logs) of people who saw the article and decided to check out the site. Hope you will stick around.
The final piece of good news is that I have a gig. Yes a gig, not an exhibition. I have been invited to exhibit my pictures as part of a charity concert. More details real soon.
Yup, September is a good month.
