nuit blanche 2010, part deux: what did we do?

we were at The Artpad - aka Jelly's home in Market Place in Reading.  We set up a special photo studio (more a corner with a very basic lighting setting) from 6 – 8.30pm. The aim was to photograph 100 visitors to the Nuit Blanche event using a medium format camera and roll film (i.e. my normal 6x6 kit and medium). We wanted to take just a quick spontaneous record of the visitors, showing them how they are and how they wanted to be as in a sort of photobooth. People were great in participating, getting into the spirit and having their photos taken.  We did not quite make the 100 but quite a few though. You can see the effort here and the related post on the Jelly's page.

1st nuit blanche event in Reading, 15th october 2010

I had the honour to be invited and participate at the pilot event of the Nuit Blanche in Reading and I was hosted in the premises of the art organisation Jelly. It was all very enjoyable, met great people and I am already looking forward to next year. Here some of the images I captured as a small record of the evening.
