Having a bit of a makeover

Jason — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 08:14:25 +0000

I thought it was about time I made a few changes to the blog as the old theme was a bit dated so I have gone for something a bit fresher and cleaner. So bear with me whilst I update the site, including updating the logo pages for my logo designs etc.

I am working on some ideas for revamping RedSentence too (my freelance graphic design project), got lots of ideas but nothing I am 100% happy with yet, so might take a while! In the meantime here is a graffiti style logo I created.

Hopefully I am hoping to add a gallery of photos taken with my favourite iPhone app – Hipstamatic. I have quite in my collection now, as my iPhone never leaves my side. Here are a couple of shots I took on a recent walk along the canal, I found some quite meaningful graffiti!

Going Lomo

Here’s a mosaic montage of various photos I took with my Lomography Mini Diana camera in NY last year…

Experimenting with HDR photography

On a recent holiday to Madeira I decided to give HDR photography a try. Using my Olympus E410 DSLR, I set up my tripod in various locations and took a few photos, the results can be seen on my Flickr page here. Below are a couple of the shots…

New York, New York – So good they named it twice.

I spent a long weekend in New York City recently, managed to take plenty of photos, please take a look at my Flickr page to see two new sets – one black and white and one colour. I also purchased a Lomo camera whilst there, film yet to be developed but watch this space for some imagery!

Feeding my photography obsession.

The sun was shining today so I went for a wander with my Polaroid 210 Land Camera in tow hoping to find some things to photograph. One picture came out quite well of a subway, another one of a glass building just didn’t develop unfortunately (the joys of a 40 year old camera with out of date film!). Here’s the picture which came out quite well, along with another local shot I took last year with the camera. Plan on using the black and white films I have sometime soon!

Thriftiness does pay off…

My $2 Polaroid 660 camera actually works. I popped a film in it today to test it out and it’s alive! I now own 2 Polaroids, this one and a 210 Land Camera, so will need to head out soon with them both and take some photos when the sun is here to stay. Here’s a couple of test shots, yes that is my kitchen and yes I know its very retro.

A couple of test shots.

I have put examples of my work up in the portfolio section, so please take a look (link over there on the right of the screen). I will try to expand this over time as I have quite a lot of work, just tried to include a mixture of styles/disciplines. Right I’m off to enjoy the sunshine.

Portfolio now uploaded.
