Delicious!

I just found out that the college also has a Delicious Stack for art. 

Delicious is a site where people can make lists of links they like arranged in topics.  You don't have to log in to use it or anything, so keep an eye on it for anything interesting:

By the way, don't forget to tweet me @NPTCCameraCat if you find anything interesting for photography online.

Laters, alligators!

Alternative Processes

Hey!  I hear you guys have been using liquid light - that stuff's fun!

You should look at this website about alternative processes

http://www.alternativephotography.com/

I hope you're all getting on well with your exam projects; you should have loads of photos by now and working on some experimentation, too.

The old and the new

Miaw!  Yawn!  Sorry, I've been sleeping.  For the last few weeks.  Us cats like to sleep you know.

Anyway, I think some of you may find these interesting:

Rephotography - photographs of photographs

and someone doing the same with drawings

Also, have a play with this clever bit of technology

Click once on any bit of the picture to change the depth of field!  We live in the future, ladies and gentlemen.

Got to go now, that ball of wool won't tangle itself.

Exam Questions

Hey - I've been reading that exam paper you guys have, some interesting titles on there as well as some tricky ones.  Time to start come up with some good ideas and dig around for interesting artists and photographers.

Here's a fellow who might be inspiring for 'Collect, Organise, Arrange'.  He organises EVERYTHING.  Perhaps we could get him to tidy the photography rooms!

Any other interesting photographers and artists for the exam questions (even the ones you aren't doing)?  Tweet @NPTCCameraCat

BTW: Some of your work to go up soon - have patience, it's tricky using a keyboard with paws!

Welcome, friends!

Camera Cat welcomes you to this place.  Come roll in my littertray of ideas. 

Camera Cat will be showing off student work and photographs and photographers you may find interesting.

Here's one:

There's examples of photographers using all sorts of experimental techniques with their photographs.
