This last fortnight I was away on the first two week residential/retreat as part of my Clore fellowship. I thought that the start of my being a Clore fellow would be a blog-powered experience. It turns out that I’ve been so overloaded by what was an amazing and thought-provoking experience that I haven’t published a word. And I’ve been back for a week!
We were staying on a lovely organic farm in Kent called Bore Place, and the combination of the environment there and the inspirational people I met while I was there inspired a photographic response instead.
Several hundred photographs later, I’ve put the best of them up on Flickr and as slideshows on a new site (ours being the fifth year of the programme) at clore5.com
Who knows what the site will become - I’m thinking of pulling together anything we tag ‘clore5′ on various services. For now, it’s just my photos.
Once I’ve managed to filter through all of the amazing stuff we talked about and experienced I’ll publish some of the best ideas here. There’s just too much to post! I’m hoping that some of the other people who are also following this path with me will be writing about their experiences online. If they do I’ll link them up (hint hint).
Here are a few of my favourite photos from the two weeks:
