As you'll have seen I've got an exhibition in the planning stages.

There's a lot of work to be done and the website isn't yet ready, but I'm now starting to promote it. The private view is invite only, I'm sorry about that but its due to space. If you don't get an invite I'm sorry, but please do stop by during the 3 week run and say hello. I'll be there, 10-5 every day. http://www.portofculture.co.uk/

Thats the first thing. The second thing is linked to the exhibition and its my first ever book. Its going to be published by Liverpool University Press and will be in stores by September, hopefully. It follows on from the exhibition and has the same name. It will feature all the photos exhibited and more. So if you like what you see, come September you can buy a copy. I imagine it will be local stores and hopefully Amazon.

The third thing is another book I'm collaborating on called 0151 366 2008. Its a brilliant concept. 6 photographers are taking photos every day throughout 2008. We're documenting the Capital of Culture through photography like nothing else out there. Come spring 09 you'll be able to buy a beast of a book with every single day there for viewing. Its proving to be quite a task so far since I don't even live in Liverpool. I have to go through the tunnel each trip. But I'm forcing myself to get out there more and find new things to photograph. You'll have seen some examples in my recent Liverpool thread. Thats the sort of thing I'm doing on a daily basis and others are doing what they do best. Music, people, architecture, life, the whole year.

Finally on Feb 13th I'm giving a talk on HDR photography for the British Institute of Professional Photography. Its £10 for non-members and you can pay at the door. If you've ever wanted to see how its done, or have a chat you can. http://www.bippnw.co.uk/

I think that covers everything. I've got to go find 60 glasses. :D
 
All sounds good Pete, hope it goes well. If I can juggle some dates I will come and have a browse. :thumbs:

We're not sure and there was talk of trying to get it. Its a great title. 0151 for the area code of Liverpool. 366 for the number of days and 2008 for the year.

Cheers everyone :) Its all thanks to people on here offering advice on everything. I'd be still taking flower macros and photos of droplets of water falling from a bit of wood :) I've really found myself thanks to photography, and thanks to you all. </emo> :D
 
Congrats and good luck with everything.
Ill have to see if i can make it to one.
all the best,
James
 
All the best m8, you'll do great!
 
Well done and Good Luck. :)

I am always really impressed in the job you do of promoting yourself.
 
Good luck with this.

I think you might start needing intravienous redbull to keep you going.
 
Cheers. Word of mouth is definitely the best way to do it, and a 3 week exhibition with 2 books should hopefully work. I had the editor of Liverpool.com magazine ring me 20 minutes ago wanting to write something about it. I've barely begun promoting it and thats the 2nd magazine to call :D
 
Nice one Pete. Really like the idea of the "wallpaper" of the site changing to be the gallery image selected.

Best of luck with this one!
 
That site is so well done. I have to give you this I really do. Thats a brilliant way to display photos and it worked so nicely.
 
Thanks :) I can't take credit for it as I've been sponsored by a design agency. They've done all the branding, postcards, posters, vinyls, website and badges. www.switchmedia.com </pimp> :)
 
Hi Pete, was good I liked it, better than the Tate could ever be. lol. Was nice to have a chat with you. Hope more people came in to see your work once we had left. Thanks for the tips. Maybe I'll see you again soon.
 
Nice to meet you guys the other day, glad you enjoyed it :)
 
Congratulations mate, have been ran off my with weddings at the moment but will try my best to find some time to call down. Very nicely done :thumbs:
 
Good luck with it m8..Liverpool is a happening place at the mo and this is what it is all about..fruition for the capital of culture and i'm sure that you are gonna be knee deep in its success..the very best of luck with your ventures.
 
We stopped by the Albert dock today and couldn't believe the amount of picture galleries there, we went to see the new slavery exibition and was pleasantly surprised at how good the albert dock is, ironic that it has been 3 years since my last visit and it is only 20 minutes away from me....how did the exibition go Pete?..well I hope
