Miroslav Tichy - homemade cameras

Miroslav Tichy

The work of Tichy has recently been brought to my attention, he is a new 'find' of unknown artists working in the world photography. He became obsessed with the female form and photographed in streets, shops, parks and swimming pools with his home made cameras. He made his cameras from junk left on the street, just as I have made many of my cameras. His photographs hold an intimate and delicate feel which are magical, even though the photographs are presented in a rather casual way. However, I think this adds to the effect of this poetic intimacy.

first snow!!

Although I left Finland five months ago I still have a connection to the place and have recently become obsessed with webcam images of the areas I was so familiar with earlier this year. I have started to copy an image each day of a few sites in Rovaniemi via webcam which, have been set up around the city. I was delighted this morning when I saw that they had had their first snow! Even though I am so far away I have a feeling of excitement, and wish i could be back there.

third year

We have now all made it to third year! Although, I am mainly feeling scared about the process of third year, there is also the feeling of elevation and excitement for the future and where I will be this time next year! One thing is for sure the time has gone so so fast...
