First of the Five Mindfulness Trainings

Roger Hyam, 2015/06/222015/12/14

This is me starting to record the Mindfulness Trainings. I’m doing this so I have it as a resource but also to learn about recording speech and using my voice effectively. listen to ‘First of the Five Mindfulness Trainings’ on audioBoom

You are not what you look like

Roger Hyam, 2015/06/13

Mia shared this because it seemed relevant to my photography. I love it.

Paul is curator of Inverleith House gallery at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh a (surely THE) leading contemporary gallery in Scotland.

Demetra: May 2015

Roger Hyam, 2015/06/032015/12/14

We had been dealing with some very sad family things and were taking time to walk in some very beautiful woods in the Chilterns to find space. It was a time when the power of Shinrin-Yoku (Forest Bathing) was really important.

Mia

Roger Hyam, 2015/06/032015/12/14

I’m amazed I pulled this image out of the series I took of Mia as she was larking about – like usual. Always making people smile. The shot kind of captures her a bit but I hope to photograph her again.

Messing with Daffodils

Roger Hyam, 2015/03/222015/12/14

I spent some time this weekend moving across to Adobe Lightroom from Apple Aperture. I can’t say it has been a pleasant experience but Lightroom does look like it will be much better than the long neglected Aperture. Aperture was the only Mac specific software I ran. After ten years…

First rule of design is not to centre anything

My Political Position

Roger Hyam, 2015/02/172015/12/14

I feel comfortable close to Gandhi. Try the test yourself at the Political Compass Site. The same site shows just how little choice there is in UK politics at the upcoming general election. The SNP are still left of centre – but only just. Naturally I should be voting Green…

Railway People

Roger Hyam, 2015/02/11

At the end of last year I saw an exhibition of photographs at Edinburgh Central library. They were prints from negatives that had been found in a biscuit tin by historian Archie Foley and put on display with the help of photographer Peter Ross. The photographs had been taken in…

Edinburgh Allotmenteers 2015

Roger Hyam, 2015/02/012015/12/14

Edinburgh Allotmenteers is my new project for 2015. It builds on my 100 Portraits project that lead to the Botanics People exhibition. The goal of the project is to produce a folio of around a dozen A3 prints and possibly a small exhibition. To get to this point I will…

Grown men love bears too

Roger Hyam, 2015/01/262015/12/14

A couple of years ago I bought a £1 bear from Ikea and made him some clothes. Occasionally I like to do this kind thing. It is comforting. He is the bear on the right. I thought he was lonely and bought him a wife. But she was naked for…

First Portrait Exhibition

Roger Hyam, 2015/01/232015/12/14

On Monday I noticed that the exhibition cabinets in the foyer of the main science building were empty with a note saying the library (who coordinate the exhibitions) were taking a break before the next exhibit. I thought this was a opportunity for me to exhibit my Botanics People photos…

Old Hyam History

Roger Hyam, 2015/01/182015/12/14

Rearranging my bookshelf I came across the folder with my negatives in and it fell open at a film my father took in the late 1950’s. That’s my olderest brother, mother and paternal grand parents outside what the Russian’s would call a datcha on the Sharpness Canal. The dog in…

Basil Spence: University of Edinburgh Library

Roger Hyam, 2015/01/15

I walk past the Basil Spence building almost every day and have been trying to photograph it for my brother who has an interest in Spence’s building. It is actually really hard to get good lighting and view of this building. This is at dawn (about 8:30 am at this…

Approaching the river Tay

I think this might work better as a print. It needs examination up close.

Gratitude

Faith to get point shoes

Roger Hyam, 2015/01/112015/12/14

I’m doing some clearing out and came across this shot of Faith from a few years ago which triggered more gratitude for eyes and light and children. She’s much bigger now and asking for her first point shoes.

Botanics People

Roger Hyam, 2015/01/102015/12/14

Many of the subjects in my 100 Portraits Project were at my place of work (The Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh) so I have continued making portraits of people around the gardens and have worked these into a separate “Botanics People” project. I’ve been producing prints on Epson Archival Matt paper…
