Fragile

Spent last weekend at Orford Ness with my classmates. Don’t quite know how to put words to it just yet so I think I’ll have to rely on my pictures for that. I got back yesterday evening and as I shut my eyes to go to sleep, shingle shingle shingle was all that I could [...]

Photowalking in Fallowfield

stillparty — Fri, 01 Mar 2013 22:19:21 +0000

As part of our Images, Text and Fieldwork assignment we had to take part in a psychogeography exercise. We opened up a map of Manchester, put a glass on top of it and drew around its rim. We then had to follow the circle as closely as possible, and document what we observed in any [...]

Scenes from the Manchester Art Walk

Attended the Manchester Art Walk yesterday; both out of interest in places I might not have pushed to visit by myself and also to seek out possible gallery spaces for our Visual Anthropology exhibition this September. Had a great time looking at PS Mirabel, Paper, and the Chinese Art Centre, as well as listening to [...]

Old Age and Respect

stillparty — Fri, 12 Oct 2012 14:30:15 +0000

I’m tired of old people who believe they can do whatever they want, say whatever they like, and can get away with it because they’re old. This is a rant, yes, and I’d like to make it clear that this doesn’t apply to those in the older generation who don’t take themselves and others for [...]

My favourite things about Sri Lanka: SO GREEN! Amazing architecture everywhere. [...]
