Sliced Up Water Tank

Part of the farm I now live on is served by a gaint water tank. A few days ago this was replaced and the old tank was sliced up in order to transport it away. It remined me of a Richard Serra sculpture. Here are some shots. The photos were taken on a DSLR, rather than on film, as I still in the process of rebuilding my darkroom after the move to Antequera.

Colegio Salesianos, Antequera

Last month my young son, Alex, attended an end of year party given by his nursery. The event was held in a local school called 'Colegio Salesianos'. After the event I took these shots. The photos were taken on a DSLR, rather than on film, as I still in the process of rebuilding my darkroom after the move to Antequera.

And here is the little guy with his 'diploma'!

Wheat Harvesting at 'La Chacona'

A few weeks ago we moved the family, studio and office to a farm, 'La Chacona', just outside the town of Antequera. Below are a couple of shots taken from my office window. The photos were taken on a DSLR, rather than on film, as I still in the process of rebuilding my darkroom after the move to Antequera.

Haslett Joins The AIA Group

There have been no photos posted on the blog since April due to my move of house and studio from Malaga to Antequera, a small town about 45km north of Malaga. The work on the house is almost complete and so more photos should be coming soon!

The other big news is that I have been invited to join the Andalusian International Artists Group and my first AIA exhibition is already installed.
Details of the exhibition:
Location: Sala de Exposiciones del Museo Etnográfico, Riogordo, Malaga.
Preview: 2nd July, 20:30, opening times: 10:00-14:00 & 19:00–21:00, Friday to Sunday & holidays.
Exhibition continues until 30 July 2011.
Here is a link to a video made by AIA members Juan Cruz & Roger Cummiskey to give you a taste of the show: Riogordo Video

Four views of waves crashing over the sea break on a stormy morning.

Driftwood and garbage washed up onto the sand.

Malaga Cathederal, post 2 of 2, March 2011

In March I spent a fantastic day in Malaga Cathederal with the Mamiya C330f. I would like to thank Sr. Alfonso Fernández-Casamayor Palacio, dean of the cathederal, for permission to photograph using a tripod.

Self Portrait with Foam Head

Below is a series of experiments using a foam head I normally use to test lighting and focus for portrait shots.

Malaga, Window with Posters

Another image from the Malaga Windows series. The shop has been empty for some time and posters are pasted on the window on a reguar basis. When the posters are striped away more posters and blanking paper attached to the inside of the glass can be seen.

Malaga, Paseo del Parque, Leaves in the Rain

Although this picture was taken in December 2010 I just got around to printing it up.

Archeological Dig & Construction Site, Malaga, Jan 2011

Here is a series of shots taken from of huge construction site in Malaga. In the centre of the excavation a wooden sail boat has been discovered. The overall effect is like a massive, ancient carcass in the middle of the city. The archeologists think it dates from the turn of the 18th century but this is still to be confirmed.
