My Photos: Cardiff Photomarathon 2009

It’s a couple of months since the Cardiff Photomarathon; here are the images I made that day. 12 images in 12 hours. One frame, on film, and in order of topic.

A mixed bag. I’ve retained the original orientation which is as the judges would have viewed them. Obviously it’s about the taking part but I got a Red Star for ‘Spillage’ and for ‘Black and White’ and made it into the Top 50.

Cardiff Photomarathon 2009

I’ve been to Cardiff this weekend. I participated, with photographer Ian Willson, in the most excellent 2009 Cardiff Photomarathon.

A challenge in equal measure to spirit and flesh it was with great satisfaction that we delivered our exposed film to the friendly team of volunteers at the Wales Millennium Centre, a full 30 minutes before the 10 o’clock deadline.

Here are this year’s topics:

My Entry Number/Colourful

Contained

Roll with it

Chip

Age

Crunch

Black and White

Social Network

Spillage

Missing

Dressed to Impress

Winner

It all went quite smoothly, though I botched one frame and was annointed by a hungry seagull. As we were working with film I can’t show you any of our finished work; for that you will need to attend the Photomarathon Exhibition at the Old Library Hayes Cardiff 25th July to 9 August.

What I can show you is some of my ‘notebook’ images of ideas we pursued, developed, discarded and in some cases, submitted.
