Fotopub 2011 in Slovenia

Along with Mike Lusmore I'll be a mentor at this year's Fotopub in Slovenia for the multimedia workshop. I'm extremely excited to be asked and really looking forward to the experience . It looks set to be a great festival with some very interesting workshop leaders including Brenda Anne Kenneally, Ed Ou, Espen Ramussessen and Uros Abram. Hope to see some of you there - that includes you Marcia Chandra, apparently there's a nice river swim to be had. Thanks duckrabbit for the recommendation :-).

Shame this is black and white - that pink wig was gorgeous!

Make Hay while the sun shines...

Got back from the Hay Festival on Sunday after a few very nice days gathering material for a photofilm commission. It's a very civilised festival with big camping pitches and a view of the hills - also lots of panama hats and Telegraph newspaper readers. It was lovely and sunny for a few days and there were starry nights above our rusty white van. We were working on a piece about opera and comedy which I saw around six times and still found very very funny.

Work took priority so I didn't see any talks but did pop up the road for the HowTheLightGetsIn festival which was apparently where the 'hip' people were hanging out. Feeling decidedly unhip I saw a very nice acoustic set by Jim Moray who sang some beautiful folk ballads.

As usual I have gathered far too much audio and way too many pictures, so now going to shut myself away for some serious editing.
