Orphans of Time - the book for which I recently designed the cover - is now available on Kickstarter with 16 days to go.
It's a photo book by the extremely talented Rebecca Bathory featuring 5 years worth of photographs of abandoned and derelict buildings spread over 240 beautiful pages.
For more details visit the Kickstarter page: https://www.kickstarter.com/…/rebeccal…/orphans-of-time-book

Nornen By Night by jamescharlick on Flickr
Unfortunately cloud and light pollution conspired against me to obscure a lot of the milky way last night, but perseverance led to an image I'm pretty happy with nevertheless.
Attempt no. 2 of the Milky Way, now with added foreground: The SS Nornen, shipwrecked in March 1897.

In an effort to get back on the photography horse, walking around Bristol looking for interesting architecture.
This is the relatively new Bristol University Life Sciences building I believe.
You photography is really really good how can you find thinks to take pictures of? Doing an experimental photography project in collage gonna fail be use I can't take good pictures.
If you’re struggling for inspiration use something like Flickr or 500px to browse for a subject matter that consistently inspires you. I like the cleanness of architecture and the dirty decay of dereliction, for example, which is nice and broad a subject. You might prefer something with people, or landscape.
Once you have your subject matter think about a theme or technique to unify your set of images, for example do you want to use blur to show movement, or extreme long exposure to hide a crowd of people or smooth water? Do you want to use the darkness to portray a mood, shooting at night or with a single powerful light source? Does the subject matter suit abstract shapes you can focus on to decontextualise the subject? Is limiting the colour palette all you need to unify your set of images? Does your image need to tell a story or is it purely aesthetic? The style and themes of the photos say as much as the location and subject matter, if not more.
Once you know what you want to do and what type of location and setup you need to execute it shouldn’t be too hard to find local areas in which to shoot.
Finally it will depend on your choice of subject but for me I’d rather get two fantastic images from one location than ten or twenty average ones. Take your time and execute your images as well as you can, quality over quantity. That doesn’t mean don’t try several things but often I shoot a bit to see what works once I arrive, some shots jump out at you that you weren’t expecting while others that you planned from the beginning just don’t come off.
I hope something in there helps and best of luck!

In 1965, architects were commissioned to undertake the design of a new cathedral in Clifton, Bristol. Designed by R.J. Weeks and completed in 1973, geometric shapes are an integral part of the design.
The sanctuary is hexagonal and the triangle is used frequently in the design of the building. The architect used this to determine the spacings of the furnishings within the cathedral.
The view here is of the unusual but wonderful ceiling opposite the sanctuary, which is repeated around the congregation seating area.

Ascension of Jesus Christ on Flickr by jamescharlick
The St. Michael and All Angels Church in Great Witley is now almost fully restored, featuring exquisite gilded decorations, numerous paintings by Antonio Bellucci, and some of the best examples of stained glass I have ever seen.
Unfortunately the place was full of tourists (like me) on a beautifully sunny Easter Monday so I limited myself to one getting-in-the-way.

I have been somewhat quiet recently due to a year long house move, hopefully once it is complete I can get back to photography again!
Yanov Railway Station, Chernobyl (by jamescharlick) Yanov station was the vital passenger pickup point for those arriving by train into Pripyat in the hours after the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant catastrophe. The irradiated carriages and engines remain to this day. These images were taken in October 2011, I have been re-editing the series for a revamp of my portfolio and found several images I liked that went unused previously and thought I would share them here.
Pripyat Fun Fair Bumper Cars (by jamescharlick) Pripyat was the town built for the workers at the Chernobyl nuclear plant. It has been a ghost town since the accident. The fun fair was due to open just days after the accident. These images were taken in October 2011, I have been re-editing the series for a revamp of my portfolio and found several images I liked that went unused previously and thought I would share them here.
