Busy Times

Hell's Bells – What a Month! If Summer is meant to be a time for roller coaster rides, then June has lived up to expectations, despite the unseasonal weather. A busy month, work-wise, starting with a week in the Outer Hebrides, working on plans for reviving a documentary project; then two alternative processes workshops and ending with the diploma student show – the culmination of the most enjoyable teaching year of my entire career.

Lots of little highlights along the way – such as being reminded yet again of the time I photographed Hercules the Grizzly Bear, newly recaptured after three-weeks of freedom on Uist.

Taigh Chearsabhagh, the Arts Centre in Lochmaddy, are planning some kind of commemoration of this 1980 event and wanted to see my pics. It's a story worth telling, but I'll save it for a later post.
