Paul Burgess has helped me out with some design work for the forthcoming exhibition – I love the posters that he designed. Could not recommend him more highly. If you get a chance check out Paul Burgess Graphic Design website
I am also pleased with the article in the May issue of Narc magazine they really understand what this project is about
The people at ChooseFilm have written an article about my ongoing Instamatic for the People project – whch is taking shape I will be adding yet more scans to the gallery soon. THis project is being shot exclusively on Fuji Instax film.
The article can be found here:

In the meantime I will be updating this blog soon I have been busy settling into my new studio and organising a new website. As well as doing the thing I love taking photographs I have been busy doing some location shoots and some live gigs which I will write further in my next update.
I am delighted that Paul Smith agreed to participate in my Instamatic For The People project.
Last week I caught up with him at his in store gig at RPM records.
I am hoping to stage an exhibition of these images in 2011 – in the meantime you can see the images in the Instamatic for the People gallery.
A big thank you to everybody that has so far supported my instant photography project.
This weekend as well as photographing the New York Dolls at The Cluny I was also at the Transmission New Wave event in the splendour of the Grand Room of the Discovery Museum. I will be adding photographs from the event soon to my Flickr site.
This gave me the opportunity to photograph some more musicians for my Instax For The people project. I am so happy that people seem enthusiastic to participate in this project – I still marvel at the way the image appears on the paper it is a little bit of magic :-).
Please see my Instax For The People Gallery
Tom Robinson has a done so much to encourage local music talent ,and he was on the panel at the event. I told him about my project and he was happy that he agreed to pose for this project
Here’s to serving at least another 100 people and an exhibition in early. 2011.
I have added the images from my Instamatic For The People project. This still has a long way to go before it is finished I feel for this to be a succwess I need to include as many musicians as possible.
This is just the start please see some of my images so far at the link below:

This is just the start …
Some of you may know that I have been taking instamatic images with my Fujifilm Instax camera for the past few months. I aim to document primarily local musicians in 2010 and have an exhibition towards the end of the year or in 2011. It will be interesting to reflect on our vibrant local music scene in years to come ,and all being well I plan to make this a yearly project.
I do not direct anyone for these images in the way they pose I just want to document people as they want to be represented in 2010
A big thank you to everyone that has participated so far.
I will be putting the images in the gallery very soon
So far I have over forty participants, but will be adding to this in the coming months.
