First edit | John Umney - Documentary

John Umney – Documentary. The Sargasso Sea →. Just wondering whether there is any point in putting this up here – it is how I ‘see’ the narrative that I had in my mind when I made the images, however I cannot believe that even if anyone else sensed a narrative of their own – assuming anyone looked at this image – they would get anything out of this. It’s just too small. Here’s a photo-shopped version – still not much better…. 7 thoughts on “ First edit. April 20, 2014 at 8:00 pm. April 21, 2014 at 5:43 am.

Little old lady | John Umney - Documentary
https://umneydoc.wordpress.com/2015/07/02/little-old-lady
John Umney – Documentary. Thoughts about the course Documentary. This looks like a camera strap got in the frame, maybe I knew it as the next frame is very similar. She has now noticed me. I remember lifting my camera and making a gesture, I don’t remember if she nodded, but there was something that passed between us. And now she has started to pose. Her scarf is undone to show more of her face and she also made sure her hair didn’t interfere with the shot. 2 thoughts on “ Little old lady. You are commen...

John Umney – Documentary. Assignment Four, critical essay – update for assessment review →. The Sargasso Sea lies at the western edge of the route from Britain to the Caribbean, it is encompassed by currents on all sides and has no land for its waters to break on. The currents north and south of it were responsible for the traffic that populated the islands, re-populated, welcomed and then repatriated for over four centuries. 6 thoughts on “ The Sargasso Sea.

John Umney – Documentary. Thoughts about the course Documentary →. Deutsche Börse Photography Prize 2014 part III. I remember last year’s DB exhibition. And how the arrangement of finalists had affected me, specifically how the impact of one exhibit as it rested by another artist’s work. Probably most affecting was ‘.

What is Documentary? | John Umney - Documentary
https://umneydoc.wordpress.com/2013/02/06/what-is-documentary
John Umney – Documentary. The opening exercises to the course ask questions about the nature of documentary, I didn’t appreciate that it might also be a test in gathering resource material – the first link to a video is incorrect (being updated now by staff at OCA) the text to ‘Who is speaking thus? Some questions about Documentary photography’ in Solomon-Godeau. See Who is speaking thus. Looking at the essential reading list and the recommended I may be seeking additional funds.

Open and echoing | John Umney - Documentary
https://umneydoc.wordpress.com/2014/04/17/open-and-echoing
John Umney – Documentary. First edit →. It had been suggested by one of my tutors that I read a couple of texts; one being ‘The Open Work’ by Umberto Eco and also perhaps some of Italo Calvino’s works, so I took along ‘Difficult loves’. These suggestions have come about from my thoughts about text and image and they formed that other staple of being away, holiday reading. However I wanted to make some images. This state might therefore pre-suppose acquaintance with the syntax of ‘Open-ness’? Some of the ...

John Umney – Gesture and Meaning. Newer posts →. I have submitted the attached PowerPoint presentation to my tutor for assignment five. The difficulties of presenting to a laptop computer cannot be underestimated, so as a performance it lacks a great deal. I tried various microphones and this recording, whilst still not very professional, is the best that I could manage – time will tell. Assignment five presentation final. Posted in Assignment Five.
