http://twitography.co.uk Photographing Twitter, One face at a time Thu, 28 May 2009 11:55:32 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I know, I know, it's been a long time... A variety of things have limited my participation for a good few weeks. However, I am back, and as part of an annual 4TogsBlog holiday, I'm even in a position to take Twitography on Tour! We're travelling down to Newquay for some ... http://twitography.co.uk/2009/05/28/were-back-and-were-going-on-tour/ Seems I forgot one from @onion2k & @fra66le's shoot... Love this shot: http://twitography.co.uk/2009/04/10/just-one-more/ So, what do people get up to behind the camera, whilst I'm working on the portraits? Well, mainly they play with foam swords and attack each other... http://twitography.co.uk/2009/04/10/some-outtakes/ After I'd finished taking the photo's of @onion2k and @fra66le, I turned my attention to @PJ. He's been using Twitter for so long, he managed to get hold of just a two-letter username! He's also a bit of a photographer himself (so no pressure there then!) and you can see ... http://twitography.co.uk/2009/04/10/08-pj/ I've finally managed to find the time to organise the photographs from the sessions I organised on Wednesday night in Newcastle, just outside the Baltic. Despite a poor weather forecast, we were lucky enough to have bright sunshine with just a touch of wind, so I decided to resurrect the ... http://twitography.co.uk/2009/04/10/06-onion2k-07-fra66le/ A bit of a testament to the power of Twitter, this one... As I was checking my tweets this afternoon, I noticed that another photographer who I know, @discreetphoton, had tweeted that he was in Gateshead... 5 minutes later I'd arranged this session... 90 minutes after that I was dragging ... http://twitography.co.uk/2009/04/06/05-discreetphoton/ By way of a fortuitous coincidence, participants #03 and #04 happened to be passing through Newcastle on their way to Scotland. I arranged to meet them in the centre of town, showed them something of the local sites, and then ushered them back to Times Square for another session in ... http://twitography.co.uk/2009/04/06/03-louise_jeffrey-04-iainj/ So, the Twitography project continued this evening with my second subject, @carole29. Carole was good enough to meet me right in the middle of town, in the middle of Times Square, as everyone else wondered what two people were doing with a whole bunch of camera gear and an inflatable ... http://twitography.co.uk/2009/04/01/02-carole29/ Time for a quick #Twitography update. Thanks for those people who have already registered an interest, all that's needed now is to arrange a time for your shoots! I'm going to work my way through everyone as quickly as possible, and I'm already looking to plan some sessions away from ... http://twitography.co.uk/2009/04/01/twitography-update/ Tonight saw the #twitography project kick off for real - I met with @shepy in town and dragged him down to the old Manors station for a few shots (much to the bemusement of the passing trains), before heading back towards the town centre. It was a great start to the ... http://twitography.co.uk/2009/03/30/01-shepy/
