As the dust settles on 2012, I've been pondering the next 12 months and how to document them in true Lens Obscura style. At the end of last year (last week) I started to think and research my favourite photographer's #Sally #Mann, #Sarah #Moon and the master herself, #Julia #Margaret #Cameron. I realised how much of an art form these guys (or girls as the case maybe) made photography.
To seal the deal I visited the #National #Gallery's current exhibition on photography entitled #Seduced by #art, which ends on the 20th Jan 2013. I came away completely inspired to experiment with more old photographic processes.
This year's mission will be to experiment with a different process each month. My research sources will be #Photography: A #Cultural #History by Mary Warner Marien,
The master photographers Toning Book, Tim Rudman, Silver Gelatin by Martin Reed and Sarah Jones, Spirit of salts by Randell Webb and Martin Reed and You tube, HA!!!!
This will be great preparation for a project I will be exhibiting in as part of The Wilding Festival, in June 13-16 2013 at St George's, Bloomsbury. Curated by award-winning arts collective Soundcastle (www.soundcastle.co.uk).

So as I dust off my enlarger and analog cameras for some experimental shots, I'll announce the first process I'll be exploring during January, tomorrow!
