I Recommend …
I usually love it when my friends recommend something to me.
So to all of you who consider me a friend; here are some recommendations:
1) Palm Labs - A Birmingham based photographic developers / printers (you can post stuff to them and they will post it back finished).
2) AG Photographic - A Birmingham based (Kings Heath to be exact) film/paper/chemical supplier.
3) The Framers - Located in the Custard Factory The Framers are cheap and helpful when it comes to framing things.
“The 50 photographers mentioned either side are taking part in the project and each of them will be representing one of the 50 counties in England. Their brief is to represent their own style of photography as well as their nominated county. Some live in the county they represent and some are discovering or rediscovering it for the first time.”
- I am one of these photographers. Alongside the likes of Zed Nelson and Chris Floyd. See my contribution so far here.
Rob Hornstra on funding
Rob Hornstra is one of the greatest innovators as a photographer in the documentary field. He is the first photographer in the Netherlands who found a new way of financing his projects: crowd funding.

HOT
I managed to get myself to ‘Created in Birmingham’ today (the shop in the bullring). It is selling Blue Watch, some tote bags by Luke Tonge and a very nice print (seen above) by Luke Halliley for £300 amongst other things.
Pop in if your around the Birmingham area and if your quick you can get Blue Watch for a mere £5. Bargain.
Behind the scenes at Smile: SMILE in the Created in Birmingham shop
We are proud to say that we are now displaying and selling some of our work in the UK’s busiest shopping centre: The Bullring. With an annual draw of around 40 million shoppers a year, we’re suitably excited.
Here’s a little bit of history for those of you that don’t know the whole story…
Blue Watch is in here somewhere.
