Waking up... to lots of news!

Family commitments and some incredibly busy times over at Paul Clifford Images have led to a lack of posts here of late (to say the least!). Well, I'm sorry, and now I'm back, and with lots of news!


- 'The Rooftop Collective Edition 2' exhibition -
 
Oct 3 - 24, 2012 
Monday to Friday: 9am to 7pm  
theprintspace, 74 Kingsland Road, London E2 8DL
Private View is the evening of Thursday 4th, 7pm - 9.30pm. 
This is my second annual exhibition with the small group of photographers I work with - some of you will remember last year's show, where I exhibited images of doors and windows - read more about that here.

This year I'll be showing all new work from 2011 (I do lag behind with my work for a purpose - I'll explain why in another post sometime!), that is more abstract in nature. Hopefully I'll find time to post some teasers and previews here.


It's a lovely space, and you'll get to see all the other photographer's work too.
The official press release reads - 'Seven London-based photographers present individual perspectives in their second annual digest. Images incorporate pinhole photography, English allotments, spatial interpretations, the USA's Deep South, self-portraits and geometric abstractions.'

It's worth noting that the gallery is not open at the weekend - so you may find the best way to see the show is at the after hours Private View on the 4th, 6 til 8.30. You're quite welcome. That also ties in nicely with East London's First Thursday event, when over 100 galleries throw open their doors for the evening. See www.firstthursdays.co.uk
 
 
- Photomonth Photofair 2012 -

Saturday 6th October 2012 10am - 6pm
Spitalfields Traders Market, Brushfield Street, London E1 6AA


On the Saturday following the Private View I will be taking part in the Photomonth Photofair. I really enjoyed it last year (picture right), it's a great chance to show a lot of work to a lot of people.

There'll be more than 100 stalls and stands with photography, books and magazines for sale. If you love photography, you really should go!


Come and see me! I'll be selling a range of over a hundred affordable framed prints - great unique Christmas gifts!
 
- 'Recent Work' at Libertea soon to close -
 
My show at Libertea in North London will be closing mid September. It's been a great chance to get my pictures out there for an extended exhibition. The response has been really positive, and they now feel like part of the furniture I'm told! This is your last chance to see the show. Once it's down, I'll post a catalogue at www.paulclifford.com.

All the details of the show are here. Don't miss out!
 
- Harvest of 2011 coming soon -
 
The Harvest of 2010 series of blog entries here going through a year's worth of my work, with commentary, proved very popular. I'll soon be compiling them into one page at www.paulclifford.com. In the meantime, you can click here to read all seven parts individually.

The show in October at theprintspace will act as a launch for Harvest of 2011, which I hope to start here on the blog over the next few weeks, keeping the instalments fairly regular.


- Facebook on, Twitter off -

My Facebook page www.facebook.com/paulcliffordartist is still going strong, so go there and click LIKE to stay up to date, posts there are much more regular! The blog here is for more in depth material.

My Twitter account, on the other hand, hasn't been so regular, so with apologies to my handful of followers, I don't think I'll be using that any more. I struggled to find unique tweets that didn't fit better on Facebook or here.



So that's it for now, keep a eye out over the coming weeks for more. Email blog@paulclifford.com to subscribe to this blog, or visit and LIKE the Facebook page above.
