Newport!
19.3.15
Great day today at legendary photography course at Newport.
Half hour one to one's with four really interesting students in the morning and gave a lecture to about 80 in the afternoon. Loved it all!
Thank you Magali Nougarede and Paul Reas.
I think the New Year can start now...
6.3.15.
Well, the X-ray, CT etc revealed a very nasty case of double pneumonia and what I thought was going to be a quick couple of hours visit, turned into a 2 week stay in Derriford Hospital with IV antibiotics, oxygen, the whole nine yards... and a very long recovery at home. Only really OK this week....
But... whilst recuperating, a few intersting things have happened.
- I've been asked to talk at Critical Voices in June... "connecting people, ideas, arts, medicine, health"... a really fascinating 'festival' in its second year.

- I've been invited to talk at Newport (University of South Wales) on 19th March. Thank you Magali Nougarede.
- Fiona Rogers at Firecracker http://www.fire-cracker.org wants to feature Understanding Stanley in the June slot. So happy about this. Firecracker is a platform dedicated to supporting european women photographers.
- Had a meeting last Thursday at the National Autistic Society about putting on a big public photo exhibition about autism. Five photographers.
- And yesterday via Skype I spent a couple of hours chatting to some wonderfully bright and interesting MA philosophy students from the University of Utrecht in Holland who have used Understanding Stanley as the basis for a research project.
So... as Martin always says... "do interesting things and interesting things happen"...
Thank you Stanley.
Just when I most need it...

... a really good mural pops up. I do love a nice mural...
Happy New Year from Plymouth Hospital - awaiting emergency X-ray for pneumonia. 2014 really has been bidding its farewells in a most charming fashion...
