Music and Dance Wisbech

Wisbech is holding a Music and dance festival tomorrow and sunday where Fenvac has an art exhibition in support of their event. Marian, Heather and myself have spent today setting up the display boards and hanging the work. We will be staffing the exhibition for the two days and I will be photographing the event for the council.
Here are some of the images I have hanging, some of which are "straight" and some altered in photoshop.


A number of the instruments I photographed are very old and are part of the Chatteris Museum Collection so thanks to them for the loan.


I have included a number of ballet shoe shots in the exhibition and a thanks to Lou for getting them for me



This final image is not in the exhibition but was uploaded by mistake and has nothing to do with music and dance but as I dont Know how to remove it I will leave it here lol







Journeys Exhibition

The joint exhibition I am holding with Marian entitled "Journeys" is currently running at March Library. Thanks to all of you who attended the " meet the artist" evening on tuesday. Some of you who live further afield have ask that I post some of the other images on which I have added some of my prose. This is something I have been thinking of doing for a while and after seeing the photographic work done by by niece Holly for her coursework I decided to do my own version and this exhibition seemed the ideal time to do it. Thanks to all of you who have been touched in some way by my words.
Holly was with me when I took some of the images and it was great to hear her critique of my work.


The images here were taken as far afield as Neath, Mumbles, Tenby,and Fenland.


I do hope you enjoy the images and the words, some images were inspired by the words and some words were inspired by the images

Journeys


Monday sees the start of my next joint exhibition entitled "Journeys" with Marian. This exhibition is representative of my journey through life with a first for me, this is the addition of some prose to some of my images. I have written some prose for years and untill now I havent felt happy to add them to the images. The "preview" or "meet the artist" evening is Tuesday from 6:30-8:30. Everyone is welcome at March library for this evening and the exhibition will run for two weeks.
