Diary of an artist writer online

Researcher from Radio 4 has e-mailed me. They are interested in doing a programme on the Craigynos Project.

Digital Curator

Yesterday I had to sign a form giving the Digital Curator at The Wellcome Library permission to archive my online exhibition "Children of Craig-y-nos".

They also want to archive my daily blog but there is something in the way that Blogger.com software is constructed that doesnt allow this.

Same thing with You Tube. Had an request from an American production company wanting to look at my videos for an American television programme only they cant download them from You Tube. They want copies on DVD.

Well, that’s a little technical problem that can wait for a few days cause I am off to Wales today. (DVDs made for the American market have to be constructed differently.)

Here goes.

I am going to try and put in some links to my online photographic exhibition which mirrors the real one in Wales.

The site is: http://www.childrenofcraigynos.com/

and the links are:

There are also links to the South Wales Evening Post sites too but I think the above sites give a better flavour of the project.

Big parcel arrived this morning with more photos and documentation for the Children of Craig-y-nos project from Dr Carole Reeves, the Outreach Historian who is helping me.

Help! am snowed under with work and got to fly to Wales again tomorrow.

Still feeling miffed that The Wellcome Trust will not consider me for a "Peoples " grant because the project is half way through.

How was I to know that an appeal in a local newspaper would have opened the floodgates to a whole community’s repressed memories dealing with a taboo subject?

Just heard that The Wellcome Trust will not fund a print on demand book because the project is halfway through and I have had money from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
So its back to square one looking for funding for a print on demand book.
Am tempted to try Lulu.com
