4 Gold Stars!!

I have just finished reading a review from Make Me Neon on the life.still exhibition. Jonathan Camp obviously enjoyed the stories that we told and gave us four stars!

Thanks Jonathan - we certainly enjoyed it too! Head on over to www.makemeneon.com to read the full review..

It's all over now for the physical exhibition and all of the photographs have been packed up and lovingly stored away. If you did miss it there will be a chance to see lots of the work displayed and certainly the open slideshow submissions on this website soon. If you want to know when the archive will be available just drop us an email at life.stillbristol@googlemail.com

Slideshows on duckrabbit blog

This week some of the slideshows from the life.still open slideshow night are featured on the duckrabbit blog. We're really excited they are getting some well deserved exposure. Click on their blog for more inspiring multimedia, it's well worth a look. Also for all those budding multimedia fans duckrabbit are running a one day seminar in collaboration with Rhubarb Rhubarb on Jun 19th - not to be missed and cheap at the price!

Centrespace...Second Look

There is a large variety of shows happening as part of the Bristol Festival of Photography and as a result it's hard to know what to go and see. Having exhibited in the space before I thought I would check out the offerings of Second Look Shoots It at the Centrespace gallery in the centre of town.

It's a great space and really suits showing photographs, light and airy and none of the damp that seems to frequent a lot of the spaces I have visited. Second Look is a photographic association set up by six local photographers and this exhibition was showing work from more than twenty.

I enjoyed Step into a world by Sarah Macfarlane (above) and found myself really wanting to know the story behind The things we left behind by Jamie Darling (below). This was a recurring theme in this and many of the other exhibits I have seen in the last week. Pictures on the wall...check. Price....Check....

....and that seems to be about it. I know some of these works won;t be a body of work but it is nice to read something about the photographer, the work, the ideas....just something. I can go and browse a stock library of nice photos with prices online......
