Working through the back catalogue...what to do about FlickR?...

I have been working through the huge number of images I never developed into photographs from my recent visit to Pembrokeshire. It is fascinating to revisit these images - even after such a short amount of time has passed - and realise that one views the images in a different light. I seem to be going through a sunset on the beach phase at the moment. I have not found a better place for sunsets than St Brides Bay. I am sure there is a perfectly rational reason for this but the sunsets are superb.

Now onto FlickR. I really don't know how to progress this. I wanted this to be a cheap and simple way to bring my work to a wider audience and to a degree this has worked. However, there is something missing and I am not sure what. Whilst it is nice to get feedback from other photographers it just leave me feeling a little empty and unsatisfied with the whole experience. I am sure that I am not doing certain things right. I need to work out exactly what I want to do with FlickR but this is the problem - I don't really know what this is. More frustrations.

Beach and Sunsets - Pembroke

Is it really a week ago already? Where does my life go to? - I have no idea. Well after a uneventful drive out to the far west coast of Wales at Broad Haven I spent what was left of the day wondering around the beach and taking in a wonderful sunset. I don't know why but St Brides Bay seems to specialise in memorable sunsets. I am sure this is something it shares with many other places but in the British Isles I have not found anywhere quite like it.

As for the photographs they are a strange bunch. The sunset set really move me. Not sure whether they move anyone else as they could be seen as cliche - which they may well be - but I love them. The beach shots have a feel of LS Lowry. At the moment I seem to having very small people in large canvasses - I know this is not exactly Lowry's style, especially as there is not one 'dark satanic' chimney in sight but it is how it makes me feel. Anyway if you want to see the full set then click here.

On a personal note I have found this whole week very exhausting. It was supposed to be a break but I found myself working really hard. I know making images is not physically hard, although when you see how much kit I insist to take with me sometimes I am not sure, but emotionally is another matter. Hopefully, the results will be worth the hard work. Only time will tell.

The first photographs...

I'm tired but feel satisfied. I have now been able to produce some photographs from my Pembrokeshire sojourn. To see the three photographs click here. Tomorrow, I will produce my first detailed blog entry.
