I know I blogged from the seminar but that was too close to the proceedings – I suspect this is too close as well – but I did say first reflections so that is my get out jail card.   So first thoughts.     After much reflection, well not much reflection at all, I thought the weekend was an qualified success.   Everything seemed to work seamlessly, I suspect that this was far from the truth but I was never aware of this.   

The programme was a wonderful mix of different talks by a quite desperate practitioners of the photographic art.  Some of the photographs didn’t work for me but that was not the point.   I have made copious notes – not about the photographs or talks but rather ideas and possible projects.  In short the weekend inspired me to be a better photographer which is the best praise I could give.   The only negative I had about the whole weekend was that the seats in lecture theatre were not very comfortable after a while – but then again they are not designed for continual use by one person for a whole day.  Next time I will take a cushion!
