American Photo, POTY 09, and more news… »
I’m on the cover of American Photo (May/June) which I was over the moon about! Big news, but slightly different publicity than usual for me, because the article is all about Flickr and its ’superstars’. Alot of people on flickr have inevitably, and understandably, felt it’s their right to discuss whether they ‘agree with’ the [...]
Palm Springs Photo Festival »
I was in Palm Springs the other week, to attend the Photo Festival (PSPF) and give a presentation on my work on 2nd April. This opportunity was thanks to Blurb, with whom I publish my book ‘Self gazing’. They also wanted to use the time at the festival to have a meet-up with the other [...]
Focus On Imaging 09 »
Images and description of my talks for MS at Focus on Imaging, at the Birmingham NEC, 22nd – 25th Feb 09…
Above images: the MS booth. At this event three of my images (mounted on hardboard, 1m x 70cm) were on display on the Microsoft booth which was great. I managed to take two of them [...]
Copycats and underdogs: the behaviour of online communities »
The title of this blog post is rather academic, but I got so complacent after thinking of the cat and dog bit that I couldn’t think of anything more exciting for the bit after the colon.
This is a long one, but this is my blog, so I won’t apologise or demean it by calling [...]
2008 to 2009 »
I haven’t written on my blog for a while and thought it was about time. The problem I have with blog writing is that in my head I want the wording of every thing to be perfect which inevitably means I never get a blog entry up. Plus, having to prepare a picture as a [...]
October fest ;) »
Winter is creeping in and I’m kind of liking it, though I daren’t admit it because it makes me feel like a self-professed hermit.
At least there’s autumn in between, which eases the divide between walking along the promenade in a miniskirt vs. going in a thick green Emmerdale jumper. Crispy leaves collected upon the car [...]
Catch up »
NB – I think I filed this as a ‘newsletter’ accidentally at first so I apologise if it popped into anyone’s inbox…!
I’m still sorting through my pics taken in the US, some of which you can see on my Flickr site.
Recently I graduated…
and celebrated my 22nd birthday with all my family down to visit (I’m [...]
‘”Miss Aniela” and the photo-sharing site’ – at the Pro Photo Summit, Seattle »
On 9th July I gave a presentation on my work at the Microsoft Pro Photo Summit in Redmond. I had been invited to talk about photo-sharing and how it has impacted on my work and opened up some doors for me. During the presentation (20 mins with 10 mins for questions) I did as best [...]
Less sugar for me… »
Above image from: http://www.bbc.co.uk/apprentice/videos.html
Warning: this post has nothing to do with photography. Yippee!
I think I am losing respect for Sir Alan Sugar. Throughout the previous three series of The Apprentice, one of the most enjoyable and stimulating programmes I have ever watched, I have always trusted Sir Alan to act as God on Judgement Day [...]
Top 5 current Flickr inspirations (and a bit of Flickr criticism) »
Above: l-r, 5-1!
Ok, here’s my current ‘Top 5 flickr inspirations’. It comes as an odd time to write this, because at the moment I’m kind of pissed off with the Flickr community.
I fully appreciate my Flickr viewership, exemplified by the 170+ comments on my latest pic, ‘Their evening banter’. I consider this one of [...]
