Photo call

If you'd been following my Twitter or Facebook status updates then you'd know about the amazing opportunity I've been given. Thanks to Twitter I found out about a potential Channel 5 TV programme on photography and its researcher was looking for people who love travel and photography and are Brighton-based. With an application and interview later, I received the good news last Friday.
The basic concept is that I'll spend a day in the company of a famous professional photographer around Brighton learning tips and tricks along the way. Then I get two days on my own to snap my best shots with my much improved technique.
According to the TV researcher, the programme is a series of six each dealing with two amateurs in different types of photography. Travel being my show (with another amateur) where others are action, portrait, nature, wedding and maybe another. So, who will be my mentor? Pictured below, Martin Parr's recent work has focused on more closer travels such as traditional, run down seaside resorts and their tourists. However, his portfolio and previous work assignments suggests a lot of similar countries that I've visited i.e. Japan and Peru.
This French blog, Saint Sulpice features some very typical images of English seaside. I love the almost tropical warmth of the pictures of subjects that look quite unglamourous. He also has a strange humour which suits me as well.
Filming starts on the 20th July for three days.

The Mighty Boosh new live show review

Image
Thanks to my Modwolves fan club connections I managed to win exclusive tickets to see the brand new live show from the Mighty Boosh on Saturday. After our (unsuccessful) Thames boat ride we made our way over to 3 Mills TV studios in Bromley on Bow. If you don't want to know what's in the new live show then you'd best not read this as it will spoil the surprise. However if you want to know a summary of how it went then I'll say now, the performance was slightly worrying with only a week to go. There's a lot more mini-sketches and no real story compared to the previous tour. There's some great gags, some surprises but if it wasn't for their natural talent and personality the show would be slightly disappointing. Hopefully they'll put in some practice, improve the sketches that didn't quite work and maybe even come up with some new ideas. So, if you really don't want to know what happens in the show stop reading now, you have been warned. Mighty Boo...
