18th-21stMay saw the 2019 WW1 Engagement Centres Festival – Legacies of the First World War which was put on by Queens University Belfast (see below for programme). I took part on the 21stMay with a pop-up exhibition on Digital Centenaries at the Public Records Office Northern Ireland (PRONI). There were various kiosks displaying their projects … More FMP Project Development-10
For the final shoots I needed to get over to St Angelo, Killadeas and Castle Archdale, luckily they are closely situated together and I have visited this area before. Unfortunately, when I went over the conditions were too sunny and so I had to take another trip over a bit too close to the deadline … More FMP Project Development-9
I have become quite a fan of rephotography and discovering Klett, Wolfe collaborative works through a lecture given at Falmouth’s face to face event. I have already spoken about the work ‘Yosemite in Time’ where the pair experimented with constructing from the original source photographs into a wider view, collaborating through time and perception. Within … More Looking at Reconstructing the View-Klett and Wolfe
Finalising the categories in which I would like to present my work will be as follows: The Control Tower- Including 5 different towers this is the first structure I was intrigued with when documenting Second World War areas. It is also an important building to the context of an airfield you wouldn’t find them on … More FMP Project Development-8
I returned to War Memorial NI to have a look at their archive and to take a few photos. I was thinking this could possibly be a category with the title ‘artefact’. Ideally, I wanted people that were Irish and had a connection with a station in Northern Ireland (not asking much). Brilliant archive and … More FMP Project Development-7
New action plan for my project as the date for Digital Centenaries Festival is drawing closer.

My work I was most happy with during the MA was with Module 3 so I will try and utilize what I … More FMP Project Development-6
This week was very busy, if the weather was right I was out capturing sites. I achieved quite a lot and I’m nearly there with finishing the project for Living Legacies, just the captions and printing to finish. I also returned to War Memorial NI and had a look through their archive of artefacts and … More FMP – Week Fifteen
This week I returned to Ulster Aviation Society Museum (UAS). I was granted permission to photograph the hangars anytime, so just waiting on the weather so I can return around sunset time. I had a good look around the WW2 exhibition to see if I can add anything to my body of work. I was … More FMP – Week Fourteen
I’m not sure how I came about owning this book but from the title of ‘Structures’ it most probably caught my eye whilst researching and I am most certainly glad I did as the concepts and ideologies around structures are the closest I have found to my own work from contextual point of view, not … More Looking at The Structures of Things Then-David Goldblatt
Not much development for this week, I was not here for the weekend and for the rest of the week it rained so no new imagery took place. I processed the film from the Greencastle shoot and reloaded film. I scanned the film in and I am beginning to have doubts about using film. The … More FMP – Week Thirteen
