The Royal West of England Academy : Open Exhibitions
Part of my new year's resolutions (I know it's only November). I am going to enter more competitions. So this was a nice surprise. Abject failure here I come.

Flickr Manifesto: no more group whore

Woke up this morning half asleep etc...
I admit it, I've been a flickr group whore, submitting my pics to 5, 10, 20 groups just to solicit feedback? Why? To get some recognition, perhaps?
Then this morning I look at my fav group strobist and there are 180 new images in there all submitted 8 hours ago.
Who am I trying to kid/satisfy/please?
No more. It ends now.
I will submit a pic to one group only. If the group ignores it or loves it, it doesn't matter.
What matters is the pleasure I get from creating the image in the first place and the reaction of my subject.

Steamboy goes on sale on eBay on Saturday. In many ways it's a shame to let him go.
It'll be interesting to see if the switch to one-off art works as cameras pays off.

I love clever people who do clever things. I have a ring light but this thing makes me want to go play. Big kudos to snapify and strobist

Back from a business trip to Bangalore (my favourite city) and Kerala. Fortunate enough to get close to the stage at a classical Indian dance show.
