Nothing New- Been there seen it done it.
Little bit of news which someone passed on to me.
Epson (Uk) Ltd announced its involvement in an innovative exhibition. Yes someone's come up with the idea of taking photos every day and putting them on display.
"I wonder who came up with that idea?"
I just had to reply to them, as to how funny it was, especially since it was neither new or innovative. As it says at the top of the page. "Been, there, seen it, done it! And had six years doing it.
Here's my reply in full-
Hi, just read a press release (PMA) regarding the Edinburgh Fringe 2007. Of an innovative exhibition at the Pleasance Theatre. Bad new's it's not innovative, been there, seen it done it! No other photographer has spent as many hours photographing the Fringe than myself and ran an exhibition developing and growing every day. Over 1000 images displayed, over 5000 images available to anyone who wanted them. And this ran for six years. Culumnating in an archive of well over the 30,000 images from the six years of the exhibition and well into the 50,000 plus mark of the years I've been photographing the Fringe. You won't find any other photographer with as much respect at the Fringe than myself, allowing me access to places and people none but the most dedicated photographers acheive. BJP described the exhibition as"one of the finest examples of street photography." And street performer & entertainer Stickman quoted to myself "that performers want to come to Edinburgh, not for the fringe, not for the Festival, but to be photographed by you" Just thought I'd keep you right.
So well done Epson, lots of research. I had a good laugh!
So this year no exhibition by me, but someone else will be out and about, I wonder if he'll be about 24/7 just like me.
