friday from the shed- almost there!!


using pair of glasses for the lens- need to get different strength ones for different lighting conditions- screen will need to move closer to hole in dim light (size of image reduced so people will need to get closer- the previous peering at a 6 x 4 size cat wreath photo in the album should help with this


made a big decision about the obscura- its fine to just let it work as it naturally does-phew! a lot of time taken to get to that decision tho- but good to return to it after the MA

people can pull the block off when needed


screen stretched- my big error- need more fabric :(


this shed is leaking light- gaffer tape saving the day for the run through- however 100% lightproof fabric just doesn't do what it says on the tin!!!


group portrait! could just about get 6 in the frame...

more cats moving in...

need to brush up on my plants for this project....

we did a hectic staged poses for the documentation of the show for assessment purposes- mine were very disappointing due to the poor light of my 'darkrooms'- needed proper staged lighting and tripod positioning- so have worked out a very shed style presentation of these insides of the shed, alongside wall based photos, presentation folder and website, and of course this blog- my year long visual and written journal tracking the key stages along the way.

am also considering running the part ones back to back then all the one-to-ones as sunset is earlier everyday (and college is closed at 7.40pm to see what the obscura image looks like)- needs thinking about and asking the people that signed up, although 4 of them wanted 6pm in the first place....
