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.

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 [...]

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 [...]

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).

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.

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
