stevenlee's explorenation: June 2010
http://explorenation.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Friday, 25 June 2010. I've been tied up. It seems like only yesterday, but my last posting was in April! I have been in Malaysia for awhile, organising the KL Photoawards finalists, Winners Awards evening and other side projects, and have not even been photographing in KL, apart from a half Saturday morning. I foresaw all these some two years ago when the papers reported the redevelopment of the site, and began The Silent Wall. I have also started tweeting, and signing myself up (! Go direct new blog.

stevenlee's explorenation: They way I see it
http://explorenation.blogspot.com/2011/01/they-way-i-see-it.html
Monday, 24 January 2011. They way I see it. Unfortunately, the honest gut feeling of what a good photograph is - what it represents, the subject matter, its composition, its context, its purest aesthetic form, it seems, are no longer so important, but rather " . it looks like a Stephen Shore, a Gursky or an McCurry", even. You simply ignore and move on to the next one. Aren't collecting perfect picture postcards sufficient? What do we photograph at all? It must be because we can add value to the image th...

stevenlee's explorenation: July 2010
http://explorenation.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, 31 July 2010. Cameras, The Early years. Leibovitz At Work, Random House 2008. My next camera was a Yashica MG1 which was a might good camera! Several years later, my father passed me a vintage 1960s Zeiss Ikonta, which had a folding bellows lens and a knurled knob for advancing 120 film. It was a beaut. Everything about it harks back to a time of elegance in design, form and function. Precision built. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Go direct new blog. Email : svllee@gmail.com. Subscribe in a reader.

stevenlee's explorenation: October 2010
http://explorenation.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 12 October 2010. It's photography, not rocket science. A stolen kiss, Bosphorus © Steven Lee. If one masters the operational aspects of the camera, then the picture taking part becomes easier. Less fiddling, and more shooting. Minaret, Blue Mosque © Steven Lee. It usually takes some time, for me, to get into the 'zone'. During our trip, it took me at least 24 hours before I began to see pictures. And another 36 hours to decide on the theme of my 'mini-assignment'. Labels: black and white. This w...

http://explorenation.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 2 November 2010. Rajasthan, back for more. We leave for Delhi next week to begin a 10-day photography workshop around the historic cities of Agra and Jaipur, Pushkar and Jodhpur, in Rajasthan. It will be a fantastic tour as Andy and I visited the region exactly 12 months ago as a recce trip and absolutely loved it. India is slightly special, as it is a whole new continent of colours, experience and culture for all of us. And we made great friends too. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). By Steven V-L Lee.

Tuesday, 16 February 2010. Iconic London : Photography Workshop. See the result from the group here. I think you'll be impressed. Friday, 5 February 2010. Road Trip : Snapshots. Last weekend, I was on a road trip to Northern France, in the Region of Nord-Pas-de-Calais. Only a short 1 hour drive from the Calais tunnel to our destination, a small bed and breakfast in an even smaller hamlet called Heuchin. The period house now run by a British couple Richard and Vanessa deserves special mention. Steven was ...
