I have supplied some images for use on the Yorkshire Foodie blog written by Ian Taylor from the Yorkshire Deli in Ilkley (where it just happens some of my prints are on display).

There are lots of local (well, if you’re in Yorkshire) food related articles along with the odd mouth-watering recipe.

Thanks to Ian for the complimentary write up on my work!

I’ve added a showcase of my latest stock imagery to my photostream over on flickr

This has two main advantages over the stock section on my website.  Firstly, it’s a lot quicker to maintain, so I can get a selection of new work up there just as soon as I’ve processed it and, more importantly, it’s fully searchable, unlike the location based index on my site.

There are just a couple of hundred images on there at the moment, a tight selection from the stock shoots I’ve completed since the last stock update to www.marksunderland.com but I’ll add a few samples from my archive from time to time as well as publishing new work, so feel free to browse!

I’ve been investigating MagCloud – the website for producing print-on-demand magazines.  It’s a project started by HP Labs and is currently still in beta, but looks quite interesting as the magazine production uses the HP Indigo printer, the same kit used to produce my Blurb books which I’m very pleased with in terms of print quality.

I’m not thinking of going into magazine production, but I think there could be a few things I could do with the format.  It may provide a more cost-effective way of producing my Artist’s Catalogue perhaps.  In particular, I noticed that a few people have been using the format to produce calendars, so I thought I’d give it a try, and I’ve put together a Yorkshire Through The Seasons 2010 Calendar as a start.  From what I’ve read so far the print quality is good, but I’m waiting for the proof to arrive to see just how good it is before making the calendar available.  I’ll write another post when it arrives!
