What is in shooting a series? Leveraging an idea, a point of view, a style, a technique, a subject, in order to turn one into many? Why is it that, after having always felt that series were boring, unimaginative, formulaic, lacking the delightful charm of its musical equivalent, the variations genre, I find myself […]

Introducing British-born, Australia resident, John Shingleton. Well known for his blog The Rolling Road, John is like many of us, a keen photographer with a lust for travel to far away places. I am a newcomer to DS so I may be taking a step too far in plunging into a story about […]

The Spring photo workshop in Saint Paul de Vence is cancelled. It’s sad, it’s unfortunate, but there will be others, if you want them.

Well, it’s that time again! A time I dread because of my relative lack of organisation, but provides so much fun as well. When someone else writes a post on DS, I don’t like to look at it before it’s complete. To me, discovering it finished is like a child finding a well wrapped present […]

Firstly, apologies to the Marx Brothers, Groucho, Chico and Harpo for using their 1937 film title, well sort of. Spending a weekend in Goulburn watching, hearing and photographing cars that I grew up with is something special. Anne and I have done this twice before.

Let’s not beat about the bush. I regret to let you know that, as we speak/read, the Layer Cake workshop is a no go. Most of the people who were initially interested have other obligations at the workshop’s dates, so there are not enough participants to make this viable. But maybe you’re interested and haven’t […]

Paris in November … Sounds like a Woody Allen movie title but it’s more about stills than video š France’s two major photographic events happen in November. We’ve just visited both. And it’s given us some food for thought. Over the past few years, I have regularly visited the Salon de la Photo, […]
