My daughter has morphed into Dora the Explorer, she is doing her Duke of Edinburgh Award which seems to require copious amounts of camping and hiking. Rather annoyingly I seem to have to drive her 100 miles into the countryside so she can hike 20 miles, why can't she just walk there ? A bit of a carbon footprint issue here.
I am still unhappy with her from Friday when she borrowed my phone and then forgot to phone my workplace to tell them I was ill. On planet Daisy this was not an issue I was stuck at home doubled up because my body appears to be able to produce enough prostaglandin hormone to kick start a ward of overdue mothers. I managed to pop two of my girls in 55Min's this lasts over 4 hours so I lost a day then spent Saturday mooching and did not go to the RCA exhibition but absolutely will next weekend
So whats good? I finally ordered a new scanner, printer, digital SLR and a Lumix so finally I can Archive all my B&W photography from 6 years ago when I had time to spend in a darkroom then came the Leyla monster and all changed I have embraced the digital format and the tumbleweed blows across the darkroom. Looking back at this blog I do not feature enough photographers so over the next 2 days I will feature my favourites
today it's the girls
1. Fay Godwin I was taught to print by Peter Cattrell he printed for her, her B&W is good but I love her colour more http://www.faygodwin.com/
2. Sarah Moon her work is exquisite and ethereal buy the book Coincidences to see more
3. Francesca Woodman powerful and tragic a lot of her photos are at www.heenan.net/woodman
4. Julia Fullerton Batten although mostly commercial her use of colour and shape is an inspiration http://www.juliafullerton-batten.com/
