Although, as previously noted, I decided to cancel my courses back in May, the summer school was still going ahead at that time. International students and tutors from abroad were excluded some time ago, this being one reason numbers were down this year, contributing to the cancellation of my courses. With the delay to the […]

Courses at Marlborough cancelled for 2021
Marlborough College’s Summer School is still scheduled to run this year, having been cancelled due to Covid-19 last year. Some courses have been selling well but, for my own courses at least, numbers seem to be down. and so I’ve regretfully taken the decision with the College to withdraw my courses for this year. I […]
Winchester Arts News uses my image
An image I created almost exactly a year ago has been used by Winchester Arts News as the banner image in their December 2020 newsletter. I was contacted by the organisers, asking for my permission to use the image a few days ago, which I duly gave. The image was an entry to an internal […]

Emulating LiveND
While I don’t see anything in the E-M1 MkIII that makes me want to dash out and buy it, I was intrigued by the LiveND feature. I saw it mentioned on the E-M1x but didn’t pay much attention as I was even less interested in that model. Anyway, it turns out to be quite simple […]
Windows 10 – SSD system drive missing
Four years ago, I replaced the system drive in my ageing (April 2010!) Windows 7 system with a Crucial SSD to give it a bit of a speed boost. It was a fast system for its day (quad-core i7 CPU) and installing the SSD meant I could put off upgrading for while. It worked well […]
