Hobby’s new lighting DVDs
Anything like you imagined him? Strobist has just announced a set of eight DVDs for sale featuring workshops, the basic small flash kit economy, and lots of mildly manic shoots. Definitely worth further investigation. Manic can be extremely useful, and so might be these. More when they arrive in about 2 weeks’ time.

If this has appeared in your RSS reader, please consider yourself invited to the first ever show of the nascent Northern Exposure degree photographs on the big screen at the Carling Academy in Newcastle this Thursday 29th May, from 7pm.

Open for business
We’ve finally transited: the awkward in-between stuff is over, and it’s time to build the content here. To paraphrase The (mighty) Who: here’s the new site, same as the old site! But with stability, few(er) outages, no 404s and on its own domain name.
We’re going to concentrate on photography news from the North-east of England, and occasionally from wider afield, plus reviews of local shows, interviews with early career photographers, short features celebrating photographers who influence our own work, especially those who still live in and photograph the region.
By region, we mean Teesside, Durham, Tyne and Wear, and Northumberland, with occasional forays into Yorkshire and Cumbria.
Planned posts include reviews of the local degree shows, a glimpse at the HCB in Bradford, The Ormerod Award 2008 prizewinner and a look to the future of a few of the region’s rising stars.
Please feel free to let us know what you’re up to. If we like your work, we’ll write about it.
