http://gregorynewton.blogspot.com/2009/01/todays-photos.html
Wednesday, 28 January 2009. Today ive been out around the city again with Hughs advise on getting closer and Friedlanders work in mind. I think these are a step forward from Mondays images, let me know what you think. Registry Office, Shakespeare Street. Bus Stop, Mansfield Road. Family and Youth Courts. 29 January 2009 at 11:56. Greg these are a really interesting set of photographs, i really like the bus stop photograph and the family and youth courts. It is well composed and thought out.

Gregs Photos: January 2009
http://gregorynewton.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, 31 January 2009. More Work - Reflections. Ive been working at improving my composition, and bringing more meaning into my photos. Looking over Friedlanders work some more, one thing he uses a lot are reflections, often including himself. Ive given this a go myself to see what it says to the viewer about me, to see if it can carry some of my own feelings and opinions about the world. Let me know what you think.

Gregs Photos: Single Image
http://gregorynewton.blogspot.com/2009/02/good-point-julia-this-photo-does-stand.html
Monday, 2 February 2009. Good point Julia, this photo does stand well on its own, you have the dish representing my world, with me in the centre then you have a patch of green on one side and the gray buildings on the other, representing the countryside where I normally live and the city where I live now, all tied up in one image. Just to see how the meaning could change I went back to this spot today in the snow. The meaning is lost because you cant see the green grass symbolising the countryside.

Gregs Photos: February 2009
http://gregorynewton.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, 7 February 2009. Out again today photographing the city, trying to pull together all the ideas, advise and inspiration up to now:. Thursday, 5 February 2009. Snows really quite distracting, I don't mean the inner child snowman desire, it seems to distract me from the project ideas I already have. This is probably because the world looks so different under snow, though essentially its the same, its only a bit of cold water. Having said that a couple that I made did turn out alright, here you go:.

Gregs Photos: A Brief
http://gregorynewton.blogspot.com/2009/02/brief.html
Thursday, 5 February 2009. I response to a question to Hugh this morning, he mentioned the brief, or my brief. This reminded me that the brief he gave us was quite vague and writing my own brief might be helpful. I want to portray Nottingham as a pleasant place, it has a reputation for crime but I've never personally witnessed this, I'm sure its no worse than any other UK city, and this reputation is just down to statistic wrangling by the media. I hope to show this is true with my photographs.

Gregs Photos: Lee Friedlander
http://gregorynewton.blogspot.com/2009/01/lee-friedlander.html
Wednesday, 28 January 2009. On Hughs advise I've been having a close look at Lee Friedlander, an American photographer who's work stems from the 60's to now, so a very similar time period to the Riboud stuff. I'm mostly interested in his street work from the 60's and 70's as this reflects closely the style I'm working in. 169; Lee Friedlander. 169; Lee Friedlander. Lafayette, Louisiana 1968. In the second image Friedlander seems to be playing with the subjects, the telegraph pole which acts to divide the...
