Snowhill Construction

Friday, April 25th, 2008

Discovered this fairly recently. Snowhill in Birmingham is currently one huge construction site. The Snowhill 1 building is currently looking like a building, so not much to document there. However the Snowhill 3 (Snowhill 2 will be constructed later) construction is still a big hole. ...

Bullring Website, now up and running

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008

Yes, it happened.  Finally the project finished. Old / New Gallery  Although the gallery looks the same I've made a few changes including rollover thumbnails, Linked images and a slideshow.  All in wonderful Javascript! The initial thumbnail is the black and white image, rolling over to the new colour thumb (using onMouseOver and ...

Bullring images processed

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

So after what seems to have been a month (cos that's what it was) I've finally got round to looking and sorting the new bull ring images. A small selection here.... Out of the 36 I wanted to shoot only 18 were available (Mainly as shops were built on the other parts!). ...

Bullring Update #468

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

The management office contacted me to allow me to shoot, so I did.  Not had anytime to process any images as yet.  Camera trip and a Hospital trip (Daughter banged her head, she seems to be fine) put paid to anything productive. Still, the tricky part is over.

Bullring Update

Wednesday, February 6th, 2008

Quite a positive day today.  Spoken to the BullRing Management office and they are fine with Photography.  I just need to let them know when I'm coming in (and advised to avoid peak times) and they'll give me a pass.

Birmingham Subways

Monday, February 4th, 2008

A place holder for the project link.  The project currently focuses on the Lancaster Circus subways.  This isn't the end of though.  When time allows I will be investigating a few more.

Old BullRing, update

Monday, February 4th, 2008

Had a stroke of luck with regards to aerial images.  Actually something better than an aerial shot, I managed to obtain (via a legal source!) some computer maps from a database.   These have quite a high level of detail (for the A4 size). However, this new data has made me realise ...

Walk by Shooting

Monday, February 4th, 2008

A simple project borne out of a walk from Summerhill Row to Lancaster Circus. Whilst a few elements of the Birmingham Subways project are present these are just a cross over of images and are not linked. The above image is not part of the original set, but will be ...

Year in Pictures

Monday, February 4th, 2008

This project was actually formed on the Amateur Photographer website.  The idea was..... ... Following a suggestion in the Lounge, we are going to try our own little version of a Radio 4 PM programme photography project. The idea is to get as many of you as possible to take a ...
