LEWIS COLLARD, DOT COM

My work explores the relationship between gender politics and emotional memories. With influences as diverse as Camus and John Cage, new combinations are created from both explicit and implicit meanings.

Ever since I was a student I have been fascinated by the ephemeral nature of the human condition. What starts out as hope soon becomes debased into a hegemony of power, leaving only a sense of chaos and the inevitability of a new beginning.

As spatial impressions become transformed through boundaried and critical practice, the viewer is left with a glimpse of the edges of our future.

loljk, I'm just a guy from Norfolk who takes photographs and owns too many cameras. But this arty bollocks generator is awesome. :D

I now have an occasional blog again, on which I post absolutely nothing of value. I'm also on Twitter if you want to follow my latest antics there. :)


New things!

As of October 3rd 2011, I'm going to keep track of new things here, which is something I should have done a long, long time ago.

Friday 27th January, 2012

Here's an article punching Lytro in the face.

Actual photography is coming; I'm slowly burning through a roll of expired ASA 200 Agfa Optima film in my Kiev 88. Woohoo!

Thursday 22nd December, 2011

I have an article on railway bridges in South Lynn. Not much great photography there, just a little bit of history.

Monday 5th December, 2011

There's a new mega-review of the camera of the Samsung Galaxy S II, the finest Android phone of 2011 that also has a camera that is much better than I expected from a camera phone!

Saturday 5th November, 2011

In the gallery: Tiny teddy sits under a tree and Tiny teddy on the rocks. Lewis Collard, teddy bear photographer. There's also this one, which is more on the instructional/informational side. :)

Happy religious-terrorists-trying-to-blow-up-a-democratic-assembly day!

Tuesday 25th October, 2011

A new article: the Nikon Series E 70-210mm f/4. Also, Cow, abstract in the gallery.

Monday 24th October, 2011

New in the gallery: Bridge, one I've been hesitating to show anyone else.

Thursday 20th October, 2011

New in the gallery: Tiny teddy watches the sun rise.

Good news: everything in the gallery is now available in much higher resolution (50% bigger in some cases). Better news: I've done that while keeping the file sizes reasonable, so it should still load quickly. Hooray!

Monday 3rd October, 2011

Three new articles in a new miscellaneous section: the Arctic Freezer Pro 7 Rev 2, HP LaserJet 4000 on Ubuntu (short version: use the hpijs driver), and increasing contrast with GIMP.
