Today I have finally done some work, but before I come to that I should catch up since my last posting.
On monday I attended a fellowship meeting, where a small group get together in someone house and discuss certain text from the bible, chat and pray. this was another getting to know people kind of thing, and what a lovely group they are, so friendly and welcoming. Over the course of the evening though I got to thinking that no photographs could really reflect or demonstrate their relationship with each other and with their beliefs.
Actually what I now think would be interesting to see and to exhibit would be a combination of photographs of the church together with video of the people and their activities. The contrast of the stillness of the church and vibrancy of the people would be a good demonstration I think, that while the building is symbolic, its nothing without the life of its congregation, and their relationship with God…. so where does that leave me.?? I have precious little moving image experience nor video editing software experience. Anyone interested in collaberating in a social documentary style piece of work in East London?
anyway , back to today’s shoot. I took 12 large format images which I will be taking for processing tomorrow. not sure how confident I am with them, as I have changed from my usual practise of having a very shallow depth of field. Only used ambient light, again as usual. Got very frustrated at my inability to get in the correct position for certain shots, much as I love my wista it really isn’t the most manoeverable of cameras. another lens might be handy too.
more next week after processing , in the meantime another digital test shot has been posted.
