Zine

No access, barred gate;

I would like to walk the land,

Crunch leaves, make history.

Regular readers of my blog may remember that earlier this year I booked myself on a photo walk in Hebden Bridge, where I restricted myself to taking square, mono photos (as a challenge and because it was a really dull, damp day that suited the black and white treatment). [See HERE and several posts after that one in late February 2025.] The walk was led by Bryony Good, who is an artist/creator working from a studio in Hebden Bridge. She offers a variety of creative workshops, and has now produced her first 'zine' with contributions from many of her workshop participants. I am delighted to say one of my photos and the accompanying haiku I wrote have been featured in it. It's always a pleasure to see one's work in print. 

As for 'zines', they are a way of presenting work that has almost passed me by. My daughter used to write music zines when she was in her teens but as a medium they were never 'current' for me. I keep thinking maybe it's a format I should use more. Working out a bit cheaper than a hardback book and perhaps allowing a more creative, looser structure, they are an attractive and accessible format for sharing work.
