About

This all needs a rewrite: it’s completely out of date.

Short version:
“Darkroom dwelling photographer, evolving elder with intermittent teenage tendencies. Coffee, black, one sugar.”

A longer version:
A recent graduate of one of the north-east’s proliferating photography degrees, recently described by an industry insider “like a carpet warehouse”. Emerging relatively unscathed from these years surrounded by twenty-somethings, and now looking at who runs the best MAs and where. Dissertation themes would focus on the psychogeography of one former mining village on the NE coast.

In your list of 100 Things to Do Before I Die, was one of them Sing Carmina Burana?

Ongoing projects will be profiled on these pages in the coming weeks, and probably scans of the silver gelatin and the lith prints.

You can meet me in person at East Durham Artists’ Network’s Courtyard Gallery in Seaham on Thursday mornings, where I’ll make you a real coffee if you buy me a slice of home made cake from the coffee shop next door. If you would like an appointment, my preferred mobile office is at the Lickety Split Ice Cream Parlour on the sea front opposite the war memorial.

You can comment below or here, or email me, or better still, say it in less than 140 characters if you would like me to take your photograph, or photograph your house or business premises, or if you want a print, or a book, or a licence, whatever it is. Be good to hear from you.

    Carmina Burana – I wanna do that too! Or at least go somewhere and hear it live. Can we do that sometime? It whetted my appetite for some more proper music.

    Messiah is next, and I’m not 100% sure I want to do it. Will be less tricky to learn and of course sounds magnificent, when done well. I did buy the score. ;)

    Hello Brenda,
    I enjoyed meeting you last night. Lots of things to think about afterwards!
    Send me an email address and I’ll send you the minutes from the meeting which discussed Rock House in July. It looks like we were both right about it – subsidence and dry rot.
    See what you think when I send.
    enjoy the holidays!
    Best,
    jean

    Hi Brenda,
    I’m putting together a register of the edan members contact details so that we can all contact each other more easily and hopefully get to know everyone better.
    It was Bruce Burns idea and I wanted to make a contribution to help edan instead of sitting around in the Courtyard with nothing to do.
    The register is intended to be a personal telephone / e-mail directory, for internal use only and everyone will have their own copy.
    I’m about half way through the list now and would be grateful for your e-mail and telephone number/s and a portrait photograph please.
    Could you either e-mail these to me please, or if you are coming to the next meeting on Monday 12th April, please add your details to the draft directory which I will be circulating.
    Many thanks.
    Kind regards,
    David.
