Trippy

East Street, Farnham

Almost 50 years ago, I dropped acid (LSD) for the first time. I remember staring at a wooden closet door panel for what seemed like a very long time, seeing amazing things in the pattern and then wondering if it wasn’t just a tad insane to spend long periods gazing at a piece of wood. But you have to admit, there’s lots going on here if you let your mind go…

As mentioned in the last post, these are some glass sculptures outside the Lightbox in Woking. I took photographs through them of my classmate, Reeve (who kindly agreed), and myself on the evening of our private viewing of The Gathering (see the Exhibition page for more info.)

The Lightbox, Woking, UK

On 31st January we held a private viewing of our UCA Photography MFA student work, The Gathering (you can see information about it now on the Exhibitions page). On the way out, in the evening, I stopped to photograph these glass sculptures with variable colored lighting in the entrance park. I couldn’t find any information about them.

Leicester Street, London

I met my classmate, Naoto, at the Centre for British Photography and we went to a bustling, crowded Chinese restaurant he knew where, after a wait, we were directed to a table on the 2nd floor (3rd floor to Americans) and I saw this out the window.

Tide Pool Canvases

Amazing flora and fauna growing in tidal pools in the polygonal rock tops at the Giant’s Causeway in Co. Antrim, Northern Ireland. Here are some examples that look almost like abstract paintings to me.
