3Am at the Blue Coat - Themed show.
General thoughts: Well, it was interesting to say the least. What I thought on that Photographs on display ranged from fascinated to confused beyond belief, some pictures of women urinating to display that even the classy woman can still act like your average male, so it helped rend the gender barrier somewhat, I quite enjoyed it it. There was also the series of photographs of a man sitting alone with streams of light from home made rockets, from what I can remember this man was very much alone, he hand made the rockets himself and then fired them off during a war, rebellion or riot, I honestly can't remember which. There was a few other sets but I would highly recommend looking into it for yourself.
The theme: To quote the introduction to it. "3 am wonder paranoia and the restless night, The exhibition demonstrate how this particular nocturnal hour has captured the imagination of artists to explore themes - Psychological, Sociological, Natural and Astronomical - To capture something of the strangeness of the night and the extraordinary range of emotions, states and experiences it witnesses"
So as you might think it is meant to capture that golden hour of when dark thoughts creep in, the paranoia of the dark and the creepy and twisted images are more prominent. I thought it was quite a unique concept as it goes against the average night photography where it shows a beautiful night sky or vivid colours from fireworks.
What I took from it: From this I learned about perspective and how a single difference in an image can change a whole mind set of something, such as classy ladies and midnight sky's. I think I have gained on this, and hopefully some of the work on display will reflect in my work.
I highly recommend this to anyone should they put it back up for display, it's a very interesting case study of the night and should not be overlooked.

Tim Hetherington - War Photographer.
General thoughts: This one was quite an eye opener I found, showing shots i've not seen before. Normally war photography will show heroic soldiers in glory and victory, however this one has shown that everything has a more frail and unprotected side, some of the pictures on display shown soldiers sleeping, in that peaceful bliss of rest, their faces show total innocences and you see fragments of personality that would not normally show up when they where awake. There was also a video on display his film called "Restrepo" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DjqR6OucBc - (A link to the trailer) I watched the whole thing, I felt uneasy during the whole thing, it gave me a tense feeling all the way through.
The theme: The theme of the whole exhibition was to display the late Tim Hetherington's work. he was a war photographer (A link to some information about him http://www.timhetherington.com/ that should proved you any information)
So to sum it up the whole thing was a showcase of some of his best work, the sleeping the soldiers being the main focus, I really enjoyed going there for the feelings I got from the whole thing, even the set up felt right with basic wood that you would commonly see around a military base being used as walls rather than white painted.
What I took from this: From this whole thing I learned that all things have other sides that can be viewed, as with anything. I learned that waiting for perfect moments and living in the moment is critical to become a skilled photographer and just his work alone has given me some more insight how to look into human emotions in my work, to display innocences, tiredness or anger.
My condolences go out to his family, granted this is a late one on my side.
Paris Photo - World Event. http://www.parisphoto.com/
General thoughts: Well this was a big one, a very big one. Biggest event i've been to in my entire life in fact. It was busy, and I mean VERY busy. The work on display was from photographers around the world, ranging from Bryan Adams to Martin Parr, and everyone in between. It was phenomenal to see it all in one place, I highly enjoyed it. I got chance to take a walk alone and view each picture myself, gathering my thoughts on each and I must admit a lot of it I did not quite understand, but I imagine that is due to inexperience or lack of insight of the subject matter. But that did not hinder my enjoyment of it at all, from all I saw there was a set of stills, these stills where of animal skulls, I had read some about them and the photographer (Whom i can't remember, I will update this as soon as I learn) had set it so they where all the same size in the frame, they where all angled differently yet all remaining the same size. Very interesting stuff, and it has influenced me somewhat in my stills project, though I am planning to some stuff on the side that revolved around skulls and bones, if I can get a hold of them, that is.
The theme: There wasn't an over all theme to it. It was more of a collection of the best, of the best. The most modern photographs from the famous photographers and the collectives. Endless amounts of work to view and to be infatuated with.
To sum this up is simple, if you are interested in photography and want to see what all the best are doing right now you MUST go to this event, it's held in two locations, Paris and LA in america. I cannot recommend this enough, there are huge amounts of books and prints you can purchase for yourself. The trip to Paris is worth the price and I personally loved it, looking forward to attending next year.

Bleary-eyed
sleepers woken up to be photographed, prowling coyotes caught on
specialist digital cameras, and a helicopter spotlight searching the
night time waters for a missing person. These are just some of the
highlights of a new exhibition opening at the Bluecoat in Liverpool this
autumn, before touring the UK.
Independent curator Angela Kingston was invited by the Bluecoat to curate
3 am: wonder, paranoia and the restless night. The exhibition features 22 UK and international artists, including Francis Alÿs, Sophy Rickett, and Fred Tomaselli, and includes paintings, drawings, sculpture, photography and video, some made especially for the show.

The featured artworks show teenagers running wild and free, a woman’s rapture at the cosmos, a man quite alone and afraid, the steely imaginings of a frightened child, and an emboldened fox.
