Pictures On My Mind

I think in yesterday's video I've gone too far for many of you! Ha! I guess videos like this are just beyond the comprehension of most photographers. If you haven't seen it yet check it out, in my mind because I have a photograph it's pretty indisputable. I wonder why it's so difficult for people to get it?! https://youtu.be/QGVkUUyCi5s

Pictures On My Mind

Dear Viewers, are you skeptical about my coming book, The World's First Photographer's Grimoire. Do you have questions? Do you have doubts? If so please let me know in the comments of this post as I'm sure others might feel the same and for this to work I need to acknowledge those fears and doubts in the copy of my Kickstarter campaign and the crowdfunding video I've yet to film.

I've spent 7 years writing this book. It developed from experiences I first had as a young student photographer seeing serendipity with my camera back in 2001.

I know I look like a dashing Bond villain, but I assure you that my intentions are true and, as far as I feel, my intention is noble.

This is not a hustle.

This is not some bandwagon thing.

It's a legitimate Grimoire where I try and share how I've had the most incredible uncanny experiences in my life as a photographer, and how others could employ the same techniques and occult strategies.

You can see some more details about the project here on my website:

Thank you,
Ed

I've been thinking about doing one of my silly episodes. You know, the ones where I pretend to be a time travelling Australian kids TV presenter. Should I do it? I've got a great spoof of Gardeners World I've wanted to do for ages.

So its the Live Channel Members Q&A tomorrow night at 8pm (Thursday 28th May). If you would like to join me as I attempt to tackle the questions below please join my channel. It's £2.99. youtube.com/channel/UC_MGPuhal7u0-pgGVvxPxww/join

1)
I've seen a few people share sets of photos from "Tommy Ten Names' " march in London last weekend. What do you think of street photographers or people 'trying' to do documentary photography at these events. Is a far-right rally a good photography day out? ;) does it need to be documented by street photographers? and do we need to be wary of the motive of some of the people who claim to be documenting it?

2)
Hi!
How do you keep yourself informed about what's happening in the photography world?
Do you watch other YouTube channels?
Do you read blogs/articles?
Is it through social media?
Colleagues?
Thank you! :)

3)
Liked your interview on idle hands here are some questions off the back of that:

Have you ever made an image that later felt “charged” or haunted?

Have you ever photographed someone and captured something they didn’t yet see in themselves?

Can repeated viewing of an image change consciousness?
