SOME UPDATES
A start to putting up the videos done since I joined Media. Still a good few to add from 2009.
FEBRUARY 11 2010
Experiment with a few images. Need to be more selective in next version.
FEBRUARY 11 2010
Shortest possible video made with just one image (Photo to Movie).
WINTER 20009-10
Camera on tripod. Marks on the floor. Took pictures two or three times a day. Assembled in Photo to Movie.
JULY 7 2009
Images taken by Laurence from France who helped me to bring down all the boxes from the attic while she practiced her English conversation.
May 2009
This is the first version of the performance BALANCE which took place as part of our end of 3rd year exhibition in the Back Loft Gallery.
The theme os the performance is an invitation to viewers to symbolically experience the unpredictability of daily living
MARCH 2009
This was originally a looping video reflecting the variability of mood-swings
JULY 2008
The music in this video was recorded on the last day of the camino, on the outskirts of Santiago de Compostella in Northwest Spain. Would love to find out who these people were who visited the Cathedral July 2008.
The outfit and the sticks are what I wore for the ten-day trek.

The art-focus of the video-performance is a demonstration of the used of theatre lights in making art. I found them a lot more difficult to manage than studio lights, but the stage-space was a wonderful place to perform.
MAY 2008
I never get tired of capturing sunshine on camera. Most of my pictures are taken with my 5 megapixel Nokia cameraphone N95, and most times I used the sports setting to reduce the camera shake that comes with advancing age, and impatience to get the shot without having time to set up a tripod. (anyway the phone is on a string around my neck, and doesn't have a tripod fitting!)
DECEMBER 2007
Unbelieveably, this is based on a true story told to me by Tony himself.
APRIL 30 2007
Not many people get to light and blow out the entire 70 candles on their birthday. It was a delight. I also remembered the names of those born the same day as me, and had my Christening robe there which is now part of the robe in which my children and grandchildren were christened.
APRIL 2007
I'm afraid the video is a bit jerky, not like the original. Maybe some day, I'll do a better edit. But not today!

RESUMING THE BLOG
Yesterday, I handed in my thesis, written, printed and bound. That's 20% of my work out of the way.
Unfortunately, I spent over 50% of my time on it, and broke many of Madeline's recommendations:
She said: Don't let it take over your life. It took over my life.
She said: Perfectionism prevents Production - it does
She said: Overactivity leads to Underactivity - that's partly why I was so slow in getting to grips with it.
The other reason was the level at which I was stressing myself, throughout the whole period since last June.
The one thing I did right is the most important - I beat the system insofar as I got it in on time, and I'm as passionate as ever about the theme I wrote on, namely Ilya Kabakov as a person.
So next task is the studio work.
But first, I'm going to read back on this blog to see what did I used to be saying to myself all that time ago - really, I haven't used it for over a year.
