I don't really have the time to write this but I had such an extraordinary day yesterday. Sooky, a Korean artist and writer, who had participated in the WLTM event, recently asked me to pen a few words about an up-and-coming photographer who I admired for an article she was writing. I suggested Maggy Milner, who is doing an MA at Derby University. I wasn't sure she fulfilled the criteria as she is an experienced, well respected artist, but her recent show at Pickfords House has been well received (see http://www.metro.co.uk/metrolife/article.html?Milner_reveals_the_casualness_of_war&in_article_id=315510&in_page_id=246)
…and I love her work.
Anyway, Sooky came to see me yesterday with the publication. It is a really glossy beatiful Korean photography magazine 'Photonet'. Maggy hadn't answered her emails and requests for photgraphs for the article…and the deadline was approaching (15th Oct). I realised I need to contact Maggy asap. I called on my way home and she was delighted for the exposure. Phew! Anyway, Sooky also photographed me by work for the same article.
Also, she lives in Long Eaton, after previously living in Sweden for a few years. She was involved wih a studio group there and wondered if HMS might consider some sort of exchange. Wow!
