Sculptor's Garden

 Last night our Creative Vision Photography Group visited  Toft's sculptor, John McGill and his wonderful garden. Here are a few of my images - these are mainly casts of classical sculptures done many years ago. John is taking part in Cambridge Open Studios the last two weekends in July when he will be exhibiting his very individual bronze creations etc

Derek Moss Sculptures at the Beren

I spent a couple of hours photographing Derek Moss's sculptures at his Open Studio display. He was exhibiting his work in the garden of John McGill our Toft Sculptor, whose work I have featured in my Blog previously (Link) . Very difficult conditions, particularly for photographing the bronzes.

Tate Modern

We booked tickets for the Tate Modern yesterday where the Turbine Hall exhibit is an impressive installation of intelligent robot jelly fish and fungi by Anicka Yi called In Love with the World. The drone-controlled intelligent sculptures float around responding to human warmth so gather where people are, supposedly emitting smells though this was not apparent (https://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-modern/exhibition/hyundai-commission-anicka-yi). They learn from each other much as fungi react in the natural world.

 It was ticket entrance with no queueing and the galleries were pleasantly empty giving great opportunities for the type of compositions that I enjoy.

Foggy Morning in Toft

A very foggy yesterday for an early morning walk round the village - the only thing I found to talk to was a painted cow missing all the Cambridge crowds and, despite the notice, the fish and chip shop was not open.

 

Sainsbury Centre in Infrared

I spent Thursday afternoon around the Sainsbury Centre and the UEA site with my Sony RX IR-converted camera. Lots of great shapes and skies to play with in and around the Centre.
