#FridayFeature: Catherine Parkinson

Sam — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 10:17:20 +0000

To my fellow Random Army. I must first apologise for the lack of blog posts in the last month or two, It’s been a rather busy time with work, cycling holidays in Europe and playing tour guide for American travellers that have graced my city in the past few weeks. Anyway let’s get back to the programme.

After taking a break from the #FridayFeature for the past few months, it’s back with even more Twitter photographers. Like Pokemon trading cards, I’ve been hunting down and collecting the colourful and unique photographer of Twitter, ready to release them into the wild on my blog. So here we go…

I came across the photos of the truly elegant Catherine Parkinson on one of the webs most fascinating websites, Flickr. Hailing from the other side of the pond, this girl not only knows her photography, fashion and Japanese culture, she is also a phenomenal artist as well.
So please, stop by her most excellent blog, add her on Flickr and follow her on Twitter. You won’t be disappointed.

Currently I’m a university student from Texas majoring drawing and painting, and minoring in Japanese. In high school, I was formally trained in film photography and development, though I still consider myself an amateur in many regards. My subjects usually focus on femininity and sexuality, but I am beginning to branch out to include food, travel, and event photography.

Instax NYC

I thought I’d mix it up on my recent visit to New York. Instead of taking my Leica with me, I took my clunky ebay purchase – The Fuji Instax Wide 100. Far harder to be stealthy and discrete with a giant blue Fisher Price looking camera hanging from my neck. I’m glad the instant dream is still alive, I enjoyed the challenge.

Flickr Pogo Swap Nov 09.

Sam — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 17:46:34 +0000

A few posts ago you might remember me raving about how cool my Polaroid Pogo Printer is. I’ve been using it a hell of a lot recently and it’s become my Moleskine Journal’s best friend.

I was thinking of idea’s how I could get the most out of my Pogo, floating around the Pogo groups on Flickr I came across a post asking if anyone was interested in a Pogo print swap.
GREAT IDEA, so I dropped the poster a message and gave them my address, in return they sent me theirs. All I needed to do now was choose five prints to send them.
1 week later I got a wonderful surprise through the door.
