Yesterday we built the camera up for the first time. We did a few tests in the morning to find out the exposure time.In the afternoon we finally did a full size portrait.It was amazing to watch it being developed and to help with the process.I am still amazed at how it all works, and overwhelmed, to be a part of this project.
Today we went high up onto Haworth Moor. It was a very very exciting day! First we got to ride in a council 4x4. It was a bumpy jumpy journey.Then we built our camera. There were a few last minute adjustments and then we were off.First Amy went inside the camera and took a photo.Then Megan went inside the camera for the next photo.Then the adults lifted our camera and moved it for a different exposure. Next it was my turn to go into the camera to take a photo.Then it was time to pack up and head for our dark room .There is one word to describe the results in the dark room WOW!!!!!
About Me
- Simon Warner
- Photographer/filmmaker and independent researcher. Much of my work has involved river landscapes, including the 3-screen projection A Guide to Yorkshire Rivers, originally made for Cartwright Hall Art Gallery. Recent exhibitions include Walking Out at Huddersfield Art Gallery 2009 (an exploration of the figure in the landscape), Transported at PSL [Project Space Leeds] 2009 where I was artist in residence on the 36 bus, and 21 (group show) at Harewood House 2010. In 2006 I received a NESTA Fellowship to pursue interests in early photography and visual culture, and this has led to a number of presentations about pioneering artistic figures and processes. Live appearances include Lavater – The Shadow of History (part of the ACE touring exhibition Alchemy), A Theory of Colours (about Goethe) and Isolating V5 (a history of the Zoetrope). In 2010 I also led silhouette portrait events at two V&A Friday Lates. www.simonwarner.co.uk
