Charleville Castle Photography Weekend 18/19th June 2011

Cabaal

Great to see everybody, enjoyed the weekend just a shame about the rain though.
Now most go through the shots I have

Oh and thanks again to sNarah for bringing my boards photobook :pac:

Going through my shots now

I have a grey regatta camping chair that someone seems to have left behind??

Great to see everyone again ans to meet some of you for the first time; will be going through my shots and develop the film soon, but in the meantime here are two photos from the evening session to get things started.

Having heard earlier in the day that a true artist juxtaposes and "synesthesises" and that a subject should never be recognisable; I decided to take the advice to heart and reinforce the juxtaposition between the stillness of the performance of our living statues and the frantic movement of Lightpainter Extraordinaire Dakar by using ICM techniques (either that or I had to move my camera because I couldn't get everyone in the frame otherwise and had no idea how the shot would work out...)



LED shows a hidden talent and mixes lightpainting with interpretive dance to show his anger at being "made to" run around a field with a light.

^^ love them Dutchguy!

My work on the trip explores the relationship between the body and rural spaces. As spatial impressions become transformed through boundaried and personal practice, the viewer is left with an impression of the edges of our condition:





Rest of the digital are up at http://pix.ie/sineadw/album/413295 And film tomorrow or tuesday

And I had a blast!

I knew it. I should've gone for my MBA

Took a completely different approach and have to cut down from all my excellent pictures as I can't show them all here - so that might take me a while.

But first of all: Thanks Seb for a brilliant weekend, thanks for organising it again! Looking forward to next year.

sNarah

I only have one word.

juxtaposition.

That is all.

Here's a few up on my pix.ie

(oh and can you all stick up your Flickr/Pixie/Whatever links, I missed loads from last year!)

Sez, thanks for being a fab safety officer of the weekend, thanks for organizing to you and Terri (Terry?), and for the owners for allowing a bunch of pyromaniac nutcases back into the castle and grounds once more.

sheesh

Working in the power plant all her life had given Snarah a healthy glow.

Hand held long exposure (too lazy to walk the 60 feet to my tent to get a tripod)

As always a great weekend was had, thanks to Sebzy for organizing.

Here's one straight from the camera to get the ball rolling, will have more in the next few days and a couple of rolls of film to get developed.

Another great weekend at Charleville. They just keep getting better. Here's a few of mine.

Editing as we speak - really happy with my pics this year, certainly in comparison with my ****ty attempt last year!

Quick sneaky preview... Thunder clouds moving in over Charleville...

First up, a statement by the artist:

My work explores the relationship between the tyranny of ageing and recycling culture.
With influences as diverse as Camus and John Cage, new synergies are created from both traditional and modern textures.
Ever since I was a child I have been fascinated by the ephemeral nature of meaning. What starts out as triumph soon becomes debased into a dialectic of temptation, leaving only a sense of chaos and the inevitability of a new beginning.
As spatial impressions become clarified through emergent and critical practice, the viewer is left with an insight into the limits of our era.

......and what Charleville means to me......

Boards.....


Beer.....


Barbie.....


Bonfire.....


....in other words, a load of B's

That must have made the drive home interesting. Did you get there in one piece?

Ah yeah, took it easy on the journey and had a couple of breaks. Here's a couple from my phone for starters, haven't taken the cards from my camera bag for the other stuff yet!

DutchGuy

So I managed to get the film developed in record time (for me anyway), really need to do something about the dusty negatives though...

Really makes you wonder what sNarah has just seen doesn't it?



Ghost pheasant!



More double exposure-y-ness

See, I knew that by restricting you to approximately 2 seconds and no time for thinking, your innate ability and instinct would kick in and you would be able to juxtapose the inner beauty and outwardly reticent outer shell of a challenging subject...

Kazujo

Just got my first roll of film back
