Roswell New Mexico

Roswell New Mexico, originally uploaded by realpaulfreeman. Photo from my Space Lands series of a UFO Maquette. The motel owner hopes it will draw in tourists, but I think his money might have been better spent refurbishing the door on that end motel unit.

Moonlit Landscape VI

Moonlit Landscape VI, originally uploaded by realpaulfreeman. Another experiment with the various ways its possible to post to a blog or social network site. In this case, I’m using the ‘Blog this’ option inside Flickr to post an image to my blog. I think it should also get tweeted by my Blog, so there should [...]

How I lost a lot of (font) weight in a morning.

I finished reading Wally Ollins ‘Brand Handbook’ this morning and decided it was time to review my logo. With a deft tweak of a drop down box in Photoshop CS4 I managed to lose two font-weights in a shake of a lambs tail. A couple of years ago I did a redesign of my logo [...]

The curator selected 30 from over a hundred images in the Foto8 summer show, and my ‘Roadside Rocket I’ was among the selection. I also have some possible interest in a first proper [...]

New website for personal work is up and running

I decided it was better to separate my personal work from the commercial work on my main website. http://www.paulfreeman.me uses a rather neat way of uploading whole gallery sections from lightroom.

40 ****ing Online Photography Magazines

‘Amazing’ is a non-word which reflects more on the amazed than the object of amazement. Nevertheless, there is some good stuff in this article, and it enabled me to find ‘Flak Magazine’ which, for me, made it worth reading the whole article. There tend to be more photography magazines devoted to reportage and documentary, its [...]

Blind Photographers

Blind photography: the very concept sounds like an oxymoron. But an intriguing and often striking exhibition of photographs in Riverside, California, argues that it emanates from the core of contemporary art. The show “Sight Unseen,” at the California Museum of Photography until Aug. 29, features everything from underwater scenes off Catalina Island, transvestites in New [...]

In case you don’t know or haven’t heard of it before, Rhubarb-Rhubarb is an organisation that supports photography and photographers. In the summer they have an ‘International Review’ that [...]

Inside the edit

This shot was inspired by that ‘slit scan’ sequence in 2001 a space odyssey. Returned from the trip and its been the usual enjoyable trawl through 146 gigabytes of raw files with the predictable ups and downs.
