The Brighton and Hove u3a camera photography group went shooting in the Gardens last month and this is one I shot while we were there.


“The ceiling over the nave terminates in a square light register with coloured glass.” more…

I went to Photo London this year at the new location at Olympia. And I happened upon Joel Meyerowitz showing his work.


I created panorama of the photobook area with 4 or 5 images and captured the woman in the black jacket on the right in 2 frames, breaking photography’s claim to capture a moment in time.

More work playing with the macro lens and the sunlight on and through plastic furniture.

It wasn’t just paints and brushes. Some artists pile their paints and brushes somewhat haphazardly, others keep their work tools in serried ranks.










Throughout May we progressed through Brighton and Hove’s Artists Open Houses and I photographed their paints, palettes and brushes.

Walking from one Artist Open House to the next in Hove we passed lots of front garden flowers (gladiolus above, purple Jerusalem sage below).


An amusing gloss on the artists’ own height chart in the next doorway at Studio 28a on our Hove Artists Open Houses tour last month.

One of the pleasures of touring Brighton’s Artists Open Houses each May is seeing the artists’ tools, paints, and brushes and other craft paraphernalia. At Lara Bowen’s studio we saw a set of colour swatches she created in the depths of lockdown, capturing (and labeling) the emotions of those times.


Another weekend another Artists Open Houses neighborhood to explore, this time in Fiveways.


Another stop on our tour of Hove Artist Open Houses was the Paul Houlton Studio – he was displaying a lifetime’s worth of work in a variety of styles, capturing much of the 20th century in Western art. Some remarkable work.

To reach Eunju Lee, a South Korean female luthier (last post), we walked through Inkspot Press and saw the screen, relief, letterpress and etching presses, and other paraphernalia.

First day of visiting Artists’ Open Houses in Hove, we stopped at Industrial House where there were several to see. The above image shot in the studio of instrument maker Eunju Lee at Studio Six.

May was the month of the Artists Open Houses in Brighton and Hove and we spent our weekends visiting lots of them – too many to remember where each picture was taken. But here’s a table in one of the houses, laid out interestingly enough that I thought it might make a picture.
