A continuing exploration of photographic art

E6: Before Photoshop, there was E6 and glass mounts. Inside these mounts, one could sandwich anything: feathers, letraset, cigarette labels, other bits of film. One could scratch and mark. This is a series of such works. The originals are still in their glass mounts. However, with the introduction of the computer and digital cameras, the original E6 slides were digitized to film and printed onto colour paper. Prints: 8'x10'

PINHOLE: One of the most remarkable constructions of Victorian England was the "Crystal Palace" which housed the Great Exhibition of 1851 in Hyde Park, London. After the exhibition, the entire building was dismantled and moved to Sydenham, south London. In 1936, this beautiful facade was destroyed by fire and the site was left abandoned. The remaining statues, once objects of great splender are now but melancholic remains destined to endure if only to bridge the gap between yesteryear and today. One particular statue, the headless woman, intrigued me, and set out to capture this beautiful relic of a bygone era on my morning walks through the park. The pinhole box took 5x4 film and the prints featured here were made on Ilford Gallerie.
