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.
