With photo mergers being thrown out of the window I decided to return to Greencastle Control Tower and capture it with my large format camera and digital. I was staying over for that evening, so I was hoping to capture around sunset and sunrise. Sunset was a write off as the sun beamed in with … More FMP Project Development-5
Coming towards the end of the first block for FMP, I am a bit apprehensive that my body of work is not captured at this point. Ideally going into the second part of FMP I just wanted to focus on the edit and design of a publication. Its ok though I’m not taking a break … More FMP – Week Twelve
At this point of the project I wanted to focus my intentions solely on the Control Tower. This structure is a favourite of mine and in NI there are typically 2 types, these types also feature as a skeleton for modified types used for the modern airfield. I enjoy the shapes and textures that can … More FMP Project Development-4

This will include updates on capturing with my large format camera and highlights from lectures … More FMP Week Eight – Ten

John Burke captured the second Anglo-Afghan War from 1878-1880, he produced small albums and prints in which he sold to the general public. Norfolk says when a curator at National Media Museum “first showed … More Looking at Burke & Norfolk

My project does not document the direct … More Looking at Fields of Battle Lands of Peace – Michael St Maur Sheil
