This was a ‘current projects’ session without theme. It brought out some strong material, not easy to sum up. Locations spanned from Los Angeles to Kolkata via Marseille; technique from straightforward B&W to highly manipulated colour abstractions; subjects from details plucked from a wet street to ethereal apparent abstraction isolated from the interior of an abandoned sofa via documents of an exceptional house. There was some incidental discussion of what constitutes a project – something outlined in advance, something that creeps up on you by accident when you have taken so many related images, something undertaken for reasons quite outside photography itself, something done quickly or something that lasts years? Yes to all.
