FMP - Imagery - Gift
Printed my current emblem onto wrapping paper for these gifts of support. As photos I like them but currently they go against the flow of the current imagery.
FMP - Imagery - Treatment
Looking at my book so far, I fee I do not want to use straight photography for imagery. A treatment style I am considering is to use a single image and multiply it with a mixture of black, mono red and full colour. The reason for this will reflect a section from the book in which I feel my children have been torn from my life. Overlay on these images will be text lifted from the relevant section.

FMP – Book - Spreads
Iv decided on this layout for my book spreads. The left page will remain blank constantly; this I hope will draw focus to the information on the right page.
I have constructed a six-column grid but focused content on the last two thirds of the grid in representation of the life cycle.
The page numbers will descend through the book, as the final page would be my final thought.
The book title will be positioned vertically in the right margin.

FMP – Book – Spinning coin
I am hoping to use an image of a spinning coin for one of the stories to my children. The idea is to use it in reference to every story has two sides. My aim is to show the movement of the coin using a slow shutter speed but freeze the image, and showing the edge of the coin before it falls, using a rear flash.
These are some of my attempts so far. Not happy with the grey background so am going to light it separately
Oh and id better clean my lens.
Colour correction using Photoshop.

FMP – Exhibition – Suspending work
Looking into ways of suspending work in the exhibition space.
One suggestion is to suspend a horizontal line in front of the window then use this to suspend work vertically.
This process would need two / four holes on each facing wall mounted with hook anchor shields. The wire rope would be secured using eyelets, wire clamps and a tension clamp.

Wire rope
Eyelets
Wire clamps
Tension clamp.
The positive for using this type of system is minimal holes are required to in the structure of the space with the possibility of mounting more work.
The possible negative is on removal of the anchor shields; the body of the screw may remain in the wall. This may be overcome by enlarging the hole before refilling or filling with the shield in place.

FMP – Exhibition – London space mock-up
This is a mock up for how I want to use my space in the London exhibition.
I want to use three display cases on the floor, covering approx 3.2m x 1.8m. In these cases I intend to display; a closed copy of the book inserted with a hand written letter; two further books showing open double page spreads; a stationary envelope and letter headed paper; two wrapped boxes containing personal items and a cd containing imagery and relevant information.
Above these cases I would also like to suspend two large format prints. These prints would show my emblem and book title on one and a photograph of a spread contained in the book.

FMP - Book – Title change
I have decided to change my book title from “If angels take my soul away” to “In the event of my untimely demise.”
The reason for this is, as I have edited the content for the book, I have begun to think about when this book would be relevant and presented to my children. It dawned on me that the most appropriate time would be if I never get the time to speak to them again.

FMP – Book content – Item contents
In the content of the book I am hoping to show elements of my children’s personal items that are valuable to me. They remind me of the times we used to spend together. My aim is to photograph then on a high key backdrop for the book.
