National Photography Symposium

Ed Horwich’s videos from the weekend are now online. Here, Ian Macmillan relishes the role of northern bloke as buffoon, with allusions to pubs and fights and bums and rugby. Reminds me how very blokey is photography as a job, or perhaps used to be. Persevere through the rich south Yorks accent, and let me know what you think.

Two of Ed’s eight videos are interviews with women. Catriona Buckett, putting together her final MA show in the medieval Chethams Library and below, Louise Clements, curator of Quad and the mighty Format Festival in Derby.

There’s more stuff coming onto the interweb daily from the Symposium, including more video clips and sound files. Mostly they’ll be tagged with NPR1 and at some point they’ll surely all be assembled on the Redeye website.

Ed Horwich runs Shot Up North, the SUN Awards. There are very few days left to enter, but there’s still time if you’ve got the work. See if you can spot Rob Birrell’s telephone box photo in last year’s book.

Most recent live tweets from Symposium-goers are (temporarily) over there on the right. Even if you don’t get Twitter, you can subscribe in your own reader to see when people publish, and there’ll be more here on NPS1 as further thoughts fall into place, and definitely more on Saddleworth Moor, where I stayed. It was an interesting couple of days.
