The Design and Build of the SLPS Website

My first thoughts to do with the making of the SLPS site was a reluctance mainly due to the fact that I hadn't ever done a project using dreamweaver. I did attend a computer training course learning about twelve different software programmes at connect liverpool university.So where normally if doing something using flash, or something purely for print I would have at first dived into doing research in this case, the research was something that had to lie firmly in the back on my mind whilst covering loads of tutorials.

Analogue or Digital

Thanks to EBay, we managed to equip the room quite reasonably with the help of former analogue photographers who had recently taken the plunge and “gone digital”.

LOCATION REVIEW
Magical Venice

The unique city of Venice has something for everyone. The opulence and Grandeur of Venice is breathtaking and it is probably why it is included in the book “Unforgetable Places To See Before You Die” Venice is a magical place where you can wonder through history at a pace that is not interrupted or dictated by the motorcar. As they say, all the roads are flooded and the only way of getting around is by foot with the occasional use of the vaperetto (waterbus).

BUTTERFLIES
Butterflies please where they go and are pleasing wherever they are found.

I have been studying and photographing butterflies for 3 to 4 years, a small amount of time when you consider the complexity of macro photography and the knowledge required regarding the pursuing of butterflies (i.e. Where are they to be found? How do you approach them?)

A PERSPECTIVE ON THE SLPS TRIP TO VENICE
I woke with a bit of a start as the alarm went off at 5.30 am. I rang a taxi and asked him to pick me up at about 6.40 to get me to Martin’s house for 7.00. It felt strange going away for a weekend break without my wife but because she couldn’t go she was happy for me to go alone. From Martin’s it was another taxi to the airport for three of us, Eric, Martin and myself. We were in the queue in good time and the rest of the party were soon assembled with us.

MEMBER BIOGRAPHY
John Dywer: Member of the SLPS for 20 Years.

My interest in photography first surfaced at around the age of five. My father was a cinema operator at the Princess Cinema in Kirkdale. There I was allowed into the projection room where I could see how it all worked. Film fascinated me.

Twenty-five years ago, Richard Avedon photographed the real American west. His subjects despised him - but his images are more powerful than ever. By Annie Proulx.

The Guardian

David Bailey prefers taking pictures to interviews. In fact, he can't sit down to talk about art, women and all the things that annoy him, says Lynn Barber, until he's whipped out his camera and snapped our own photographer.
