Josh & Ruth Binstead's Wedding Blessing

 Josh & Ruth had a wedding blessing at Maybridge Community Church about 2 weeks after getting married in Northern Ireland.

It is quite different to photographing a wedding - more relaxed!

The couples pictures were taken before the ceremony - indeed, they arrived together in my car!

The beach pictures were taken in East Worthing, shelter at West Worthing and the indoor ones were at the Dome Cinema foyer.  The weather let us down & it rained almost as soon as we arrived at the beach!

The service was lovely with the respective families taking time to pray for the couple and their future together

Bob & Janet's Wedding

It was really lovely to see Bob and Janet get married last Saturday, and a great privilege to be part of their big day as photographer.  Both widowed in recent years, it is lovely to see them happy again, with heartwarming tributes to both Chris and Margaret and Joe Davis speaking (at Offington Park Methodist Church) about their long track records in loving relationships.  I wish them every happiness in their future together.

Phonie Worthing Exhibition

As part of the Worthing Open Houses 2011, phonie Worthing exhibited in venue 12 - The Red Phone Box, Steyne Gardens, on the Art Trail, 18 & 19 and 25 & 26 June and 2 & 3 July.

phonie art is about capturing the moment on a mobile phone camera, a digital version of the 'instamatic'.  It is not about technical excellence or what can be done in post-production.  The phonie Worthing exhibition expressed this through a number of unusual, quirky images showing Worthing from a different perspective

The exhibition comprised of 100 images by 37 contributors, all taken on mobile phone cameras and submitted via social media, were printed on business cards (which referenced the screen size of the phone camera) and set into the windows of the phone box.  

Exact numbers of visitors to the box are unknown as it was unmanned for part of the time, though more than 50 comments were left in the visitors book.

Saturday 25 June was a 'meet and greet' day on (publicised through facebook) where a number of exhibitors came down, as well as those out on the art trail and a few surprised passers-by.

The exhibition was well received and good fun to do - and got a mention is a blog http://fredpipes.blogspot.com/2011/06/worthing-open-houses.html 

phonie art

Inspired by Worthing & Adur council adopting a red telephone box (fab exhibition space!) on the corner of Steyne Gardens and the seafront in Worthing, phonie art is about looking at the type, level and quality of images/artwork you can get from a mobile phone.



phonie art has now been launched on facebook
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Phonie-art/111227838956210
and Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/phonieart/

People can upload to facebook, and from there I am posting the images on phonie art's flickr page.

phonie art as is is a really wide concept.  I think that to really make it work it has to be broken down into themes - almost like a photography competition - maybe focussing on that theme for a month at a time.

Pilot local - 'phonie Worthing' and 'phonie Littlehampton'
Mobile phone cameras are often accepted more than a dSLR is.
People have their phones with them virtually all of the time.
The images I really want to see are those off the beaten photography path, away from picture postcard Worthing/Littlehampton.
A finger-tip document of the town(s) - the small, the quirky, the often unseen, the usual and everyday - but with a different take/perspective.

A major factor is its collectivity, collaboration - a community documented by those that form it, that belong to it.
