Lovely to see a first exhibition of a selection of my new work 'The Edge of Ruin' in Colwyn Bay for The Northern Eye festival, organised by @orielcolwyn.bsky.social
You can see these images on the outside of the town library windows for the month. Thanks to all who helped the install.

Wonderful weekend at @orielcolwyn.bsky.social for Northern Eye festival. Lovely to get to know Peter Caton & his long term work in South Sudan, and Kyle McDougall. My highlight though was the talk and work of Margaret Mitchel, including An Ordinary Eden.

Thanks @orielcolwyn.bsky.social for a great day 1 of the North Eye photography festival.
Including an inspirational talk by the great Martin Parr.
To paraphrase Parr: the beauty of photograph is that you never know what you are going to get.
Here is young Parr with his dad.

I'm hoping to bring a set of printed sheets to @orielcolwyn.bsky.social in N.Wales and then perhaps, I hope an advance copy to show at BOP 2025 in Bristol.

You can pre-order a copy here:

Exciting!

Marc Wilson @marcwilson.co.uk · 15d

Full (double set) of sheets for 'The Edge of Ruin'.
Litho printed from 13 plates.
This set, when folded, gathered, cut, section sewn and bound, will make the books 136 pages and cover.

I will try to bring a set with me next weekend to THE NORTHERN EYE 2025 at @orielcolwyn.bsky.social

We loved your exhibition Steve!

Spring 2024 I was privileged to have a solo exhibit @orielcolwyn.bsky.social Including 100 photos taken from my book Coastal Encounters. My son Andrew and I made some amateur video footage of the exhibition, and I finally got round to putting it together.

The problem with going to photo jumbles like the one today at @orielcolwyn.bsky.social is you know you are going to buy something, otherwise what's the point of going 😅

A few of the 1st shots from my old Fuji S8100fd bridge camera that I reacquired at the @orielcolwyn.bsky.social Darkroom Clearout sale earlier today. Straight out of the camera, no edits. The colour image has no exposure compensation & shows some blown-out whites. -1 stop comp on the 2nd image.
