Blossom

Thanks to everybody who came to listen to me talk at Bristol University the other evening. I really enjoyed it. Good questions - only one 'what camera do you use?'.

I talked a little about my current project which I have been working on for the last six months. It was the first time I had shown any images from the project so I was a little apprehensive beforehand. I will post some here soon but for now blossom.

Its just so beautiful

Innovative Interactivity (II)

If you interested in all things multimedia you probably already read Tracy Boyers Innovative Interactivity blog. If you don't then you probably should and you would have probably read her write up on our workshop which is taking place in Devon this May. I may have already mentioned it but The Hinterlands is going to be an amazing event - great home cooked food, staying in beautiful authentic yurts in the peaceful countryside alongside some kickass training to get your photofilm knowledge rolling. We also have the wonderful Nick Hand coming along to tell us about his work and why he thinks photofilms are a great medium - plus he is an all round great guy.

This is a short piece of Nicks - part of his slow coast series..

Bush

Frozen Bush, 2011.

I'm speaking to the University of Bristol photographic society this evening. They have titled my talk 'Film is not dead'.. I never said it was and I don't think it ever will be..but that doesn't mean the cost is coming down - and that's the issue for a lot of people. I enjoy shooting across formats and they both have their distinct advantages.

There is nothing quite like getting a film back though..

Then there are (photo)film(s).. I will also be talking about them. They're not dead. They haven't even gotten started yet.

A thin sliver of moon

I saw this whilst on the way home from a commission the other day. Beautiful light and a thin sliver of moon - what a treat.

If you enjoy looking at my work then please don't forget to head over to my website at mikelusmore.com. I have been making a few changes with it recently so you might enjoy whittling some time away over there..

Pancakes

I can't say I have been waiting with baited breath for pancake day this year, or last for that matter. I'm grown up now and realise that I can have pancakes any day I wish.

Alex James on the other hand wanted to test out some weird and wonderful recipes for his food column in Britain's biggest tabloid. Rolo's and white chocolate buttons got the man excited.

Christmas Photofilm

Spring hasn't quite sprung (despite what the papers tell you) and winter still has its firm grip on the temperature here in the UK. So if your feeling like it's cold enough to be christmas and your missing all that festive cheer. Maybe this will lift your spirits..

This was a collaboration with Rebecca Harley and we both photographed, recorded and produced it together. We took it to the singing group for a preview the other night in a small house next to the river Wye in Chepstow. As we huddled round at the end of singing practice and watched it together it was so nice to see the smiles on peoples faces as they watched.

What a lovely reward..
