Awards News and Sandro, Ex-What The Blood Revealed

I was able to get out with my camera the other night. It was Sandro Del Greco's last gig with my old band What The Blood Revealed. When I got there I was told that they had been on for ages and that it was their last song. I jumped down the front and startted shooting away in what can best be described as 'pish light'. Anyway excuses aside I got a few images that I'm happy with so go have a look.

In other more me orientated news, two of my submissions for this years Institute of Medical Illustrators Awards won a bronze certificate. The first was of a Papule in a a left ear. Not very exciting but I really was quite chuffed with the way it looked. I had cross lit the ear from the left with a rim light from the right. I'd go into more detail if I had the inclination but I don't. So secondly my black and white image of Seafeild hospital (derelict), seen earlier in this blog, giving me added impetus to get on with the project I have been trying to start for almost a year.

Speaking of which, a patient I photographed turned out to have access to Seafeild Hospital. I explained my project to him: the taking of images of the condemned hospital with condemned film from our old stock. He seemed very keen to be involved and now that I have won the award I think it will put a bit of momentum on the whole project. We can but hope.
