I must sort out this blog

  • September 25, 2008 at 10:03 pm
  • I keep adding and changing things on this blog, and the theme really can’t cope with it any more. I need a new one. However, I’m not going to introduce a cleaner one in the interim so you’ll all just have to put up with strange footers and sidebars for a bit longer.

Digital mentors?

  • September 25, 2008 at 10:51 am
  • My skepticism has been assuaged considerably since this was originally posted, but it would be wrong of me to alter the post so I haven’t; and besides, the arguments are still worth having.
    I want to endorse the idea of ‘digital mentors‘ [link updated], really I do; but the more I think about it the less [...]

Should we tackle the digital divide or live with it?

  • September 25, 2008 at 9:37 am
  • At three o’clock this morning I finished a frantic flurry of blog posts and Twitter tweets, and tried to sleep. Instead I began to panic.
    When this happens – and it happens a lot these days – I feel that I’m on an irreversible and rapid ascent to the peak of my sanity, at which point [...]

Birmingham photography: is the university planning a gallery in Eastside?

  • September 25, 2008 at 1:57 am
  • One last quick post about this bloomin’ photography space before I go to sleep.
    I was chatting to a bloke at Tuesday’s Birmingham bloggers meet who seemed to be suggesting that the university is opening up a photography gallery in Eastside (I think he even said Curzon Street Station).
    If this is true, should we:

    leave it to [...]

  • The frame below displays the most recent post about Birmingham’s Image Central project, gathered from the web. (It can appear a little temperamental; if it claims there is nothing to display try again later.) Or view the whole lot here.

Finding information about the Birmingham photo space (Image Central) project

  • September 25, 2008 at 12:32 am
  • As yet there is no central blog or website, and even when there is I suspect there will be various people blogging in different places. In an attempt to make my contributions as easy to find as possible I have:

    started tagging/labeling/categorising all my relevant posts with both brumphotospace and brumimagecentral (I’m adding ‘brum’ to [...]

Birmingham photo space calendar

  • September 25, 2008 at 12:11 am
  • This calendar is for the campaign for a dedicated photography space in Birmingham, now probably called the ‘Image Central’ project. Thanks to Rob for the calendar. At some point I’ll put it in a more findable location on this blog, but it’ll do here for now.

Setting up a charity for a Birmingham photography gallery

  • September 19, 2008 at 2:59 pm
  • There’s a move afoot to campaign for a dedicated photography gallery in Birmingham. I’ve agreed to do some initial research into how best to set up an organisation to raise funds for such a campaign
    A quick look at the Charity Commission website suggests that we don’t need to register as a charity if our annual [...]

Birmingham photo space

  • September 17, 2008 at 7:50 pm
  • I went to a meeting this evening about setting up a lobbying group for a dedicated photography gallery in Birmingham.
    As a result I prgmised to do a couple of things, forgetting that my broadband is down. Doh. So I’m writing this VERY SLOWLY on my phone, with very low signal. Oh well.
    There were only three [...]

New sheep and other minor changes

  • September 14, 2008 at 11:55 pm
  • If case you think there’s something wrong with this blog but can’t put your finger on it, don’t panic. I’ve made a few small cosmetic alterations, including the background colour and a less subtle picture of sheep.
    Granted, it does look slightly odd when the sidebar is longer than the middle; I’ll probably put the faux [...]
