Self portrait

There comes and there goes, there is and there was, I went and came back, I go now.

The image no one took

me

me

I am me that is who I was. No one is to tell what is to become of me but me, but not me now, me later. This is a picture of me but not me now, me before. I wonder who I was back then on that sunny morning, what did I want me to do? Maybe I took me out to do something to fill up my life with like drink a cup of black coffee and smoke a big fat cigarette and wonder if anyone else would come wandering into my day.

An image born of boredom

A broken light from tourist picture point 08.

I have arrived back in St. Ives today and have gone into the archive to give you this!
Every day in St. Ives the same thing happens. A tourist takes a picture from this exact angle near the bus teminal. Imagine how many people out there have a photo from this rather ordinary spot. I am guessing into the billions.
And so I went about the mammoth task of grabbing my own little memoir from 'tourist picture point', as I am proclaiming it. And hell yes did it feel good, 'oh yess' I thought to myself upon the pinnacle of touristic photographic bliss.
I cant wait for the summer for all the visitors to come again so I can watch them getting their little kicks there at the point, oohhh.
I never knew a broken light would create such a following I would have been reborn as one or maybe a beefburger. Goodnight.

catch from afar.

Wobage farm sunset. 23/11/09

As I stated in my last blog, sometimes us Cornish have to travel afar to find what we are looking for and I ended up catching this bugger on a farm with a field full of perry pear trees and sheep with a warm autumn sunset in behind. How quintessentially English of the Herefordians to think of such an arrangement just as I turned up, jolly good show.

Cornish photography

St.ives harbour, low tide.

What with Cornwall's fishing, mining and farming being up the spout local cornish people have suddenly turned to photography to help bring home the bacon. They are using much the same methods as with the old crafts but just utilising them elsewhere. Going far distances to gain a catch to bring home as in fishing. Delving deeper into the subject to obtain better quality material as they would have down the mines and working year round growing collections of photo's for the whole community to feast upon. This particular print is £265 framed plus postage and packaging, hahaha. Buy now for quick delivery......
