Hello Final Focus Week
The Final Focus Week was spent looking a bit closer at photography. A tool we frequently use in our work and can play a very important part in how a project is perceived and presented. EcoBuild was also on at Earls Court so altogether it made a very good week.
Colour Photography
Me and James finally did the introduction to the colour darkroom the week before focus. This led me to start going through my photos from the Japan trip last easter. I got a load of film and bunches of digital but none ever ended up on the blog shame so here's a few. This pic is taken at Tsukiji fish market in Tokyo. The largest wholesale fish market and wholesale market in the world. Still located fairly central it supplies Tokyo with fresh seafood every day. It's very fascinating and well worth the trip if you go to Tokyo. Although you probably do better in just staying up the night because you have to be there three four in the morning to catch the commerce.
William Eggleston@ Victoria Miro
William Eggleston - Yellow Market, 1999
William Eggleston one of the most influential photographers of the last half-century and known as as the father of colour photography had a show up at Victioria Miro. His work is seriously good and I've seen shows with him before. But this show included mostly new work with fairly abstract compositions. I've seemed to have lost the pics I took from the exhibition but if I find them I will put them up. Check Egglestones site http://www.egglestontrust.com/
Ryōan-ji
The famous Ryōan-ji, Gardens in Kyoto. The colours were amazing around easter when the cherry blossom is in full bloom.
