I know I have been banging on about Hockney over the past week or so but would you believe I have not really given him any great thought. Instead of photographic matters I have been using the more analytical part of my brain. I have been doing some historical research. This is not the first time I have done this - my old website is still on line - this was completed in 1996 - almost as old in WWW terms as the subject matter!
Anyway back to the present. I have been working a map of the village showing all the historical/archaeological sites/information I have discovered. It has been really enjoyable and at same time so frustrating. You always seem to take two steps forward and one back. You develop a theory based on the information at hand and then discover new information that blows it out of the water. Sometimes I just want to scream but it is very absorbing. So the photography has had to take a back seat. This may change as I am off to the Salt Mill gallery tomorrow to see more Hockney - so I suspect I may well be back to photography over the next day or so!
